Milton Bennet:

"Culture is the learned and shared values, beliefs and behaviours of a group of interacting people."

"Culture is learned and then forgotten. But we take it with us wherever we go and hear it like a silent voice inside your head."

Welcome on board


Hi there,

please feel free to join this little trip through the intercultural and interpersonal tools that may help with everyday life or business troubles.

I have a passion for traveling and writing. Halfway between book travel and exploration of the major theories of famous interculturalists and psychologists, I will take you on a journey to the land of Human Relations.
