Introduction:
Originally from Bonn in Germany I now live in Falmouth Cornwall and together with my husband run a 5-star B&B.
I qualified as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide in 2014 and specialise in Garden and walking tours.
I have a German Degree in Nutrition & Domestic Sciences as well as in PR and worked 15 years as PR-Manager. Now it is one of my greatest pleasures to introduce visitors to this beautiful country. Whether be it on a coach, on a town walk, coastal trek or in a garden, there are many English ways of living to see and explore in the South West.
As gardens are very much my passion, I am also a Garden Guide in Trebah Gardens, Cornwall and was the Show Secretary for the Falmouth Spring Flower Show, Cornwall.
Ich bin ein passionierter Englandfan und habe doch mein Heimatland Deutschland nicht vergessen.
Was passiert jetzt nach dem Brexit? Warum gibt es immer noch getrennte Wasserhähne fuer Kalt und Warm? Existiert die ‘last order’ im Pub um 23 Uhr noch? Haben wirklich viele Engländer keinerlei Ausweis? Und warum fährt man eigentlich hier links? Einige dieser Fragen werden wohl immer ein Mysterium bleiben, aber auf Vieles gibt es eine Antwort, die ich Ihnen gerne im Kontext mit Geschichte, Land und Leute von England vorstelle.
Reisen Sie mit mir durch den 'wilden' Suedwesten von England. Ein wunderbares Erlebnis.
