Hello! I'm Miriam – a musician, teacher, and passionate storyteller with roots in Bonn and Cologne. I grew up in Bonn and studied, lived, and worked in Cologne for many years. Both cities are much more than places to me: They are emotional landscapes, full of memories, stories, secrets, and beauty – sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. As a teacher and artist, I love connecting with people, inspiring them, and showing them familiar places with fresh eyes. I'm fascinated by the subtle details as much as the grand historical lines. I have a keen sense of atmosphere and love interweaving aesthetics, culture, and history – and making places speak for themselves. If you're up for a walk full of vivid stories, surprising perspectives, and loving details, you've come to the right place. I look forward to seeing you!
