AiB’s mission to bring the American and European world closer together, foster intercultural exchange, and allow young people to broaden their horizon on a transformative study abroad program is one I truly believe in. Having studied abroad twice myself – one year in the US, and a semester in France – I’ve made this life-changing experience myself. My Master’s degree in North American Studies from the University of Bonn paved the way for working in an international environment such as AiB. Getting to know students from all over the US and showing them around the beautiful city of Bonn is a real pleasure. Outside of AiB I enjoy Bonn’s dolce vita, the city’s culinary diversity and the many small Cafés. Nature, good music, playing soccer with friends and a shot of espresso (or two) keep me going every day.
