How did you become a blogger/ social media Influencer?

I became an Influencer kind of by nature. I never forced anything I was just working at a boutique in cologne and showed the new pieces from the shop on Instagram, that is how it all started.

What inspires you to make your posts everyday?

My Community. But if I do not feel well, I do not post anything. For me I still see Instagram as a hobby not a real job. When I am traveling sometimes I post 3 different pictures on one day to show my community what I am up to and sometimes I do not post anything 2 days in a row. It always depends on what I experience. :)

What is something you have taken away from your travels in Africa?

That you should take some time to appreciate the beauty of nature and also to think about others. For my husband it was the first time that he visited an african village.

So we definitely want to keep that always in mind and really want to help others, as the people over there are so positive and welcoming.
