CAROLINE SIEG
Food & Drink, Environment, Welcome to Germany
Half-American and half-Swiss, Caroline has spent most of her life moving back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean, with lengthy stops in Zürich, Miami and New York City. When not cycling around Berlin’s Tiergarten or Hamburg’s waterways in an effort to work off a daily dose of Kaffee und Kuchen, Caroline spends her days writing and editing, with a focus on anything involving travel and food.
