Born in Berlin, the creative hub of Germany and growing up with books all around her, Johanna always wanted to become a writer, but her parents - her Dad an engineer and her Mom an English teacher - said "If you want to be a writer you have to: 1.) Read a lot and 2.) travel a lot to."
Johanna started working on that vision: She studied Business Administration at INSEAD and Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and worked for major companies all over the world. After she had read a few hundred books and traveled more than 40 countries in the world, she thought it was time to give the author life a try: She moved to San Francisco, took writing classes at Stanford University and wrote her debut 'How to love San Francisco - One year in the City by the Bay'.
Johanna was a finalist at the Writer's Institute 2013 and her work was described as "a fresh, somewhat frisky and unusual take on San Francisco" as well as a " fresh voice."
