About Ulrich

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Hi everybody out there. I’m Ulrich from Germany. After studying, among others, in Cologne, Munich, France and the US, I was known as the “tourist student” living all over the world. Upon completing my Ph.D. in Finance, I decided to travel again and got the chance to combine this big love with my job, first as a banker and later as a consultant.

Constantly traveling all over the world as a consultant, I got very tired of researching all the nice places I’m visiting for hours on the web. I looked for small, quick and easy to read guidebooks on specific topics for my favorite destinations.

And from now on, GuideGecko is the place to find them – along with many other guidebooks as well! See you around the world!

About Angelika

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Hello, this is Angelika! I coordinate the marketing and public relations (PR) activities at Net Gecko.

After having lived in Poland, Germany and the USA, I am now based in Singapore. I am passionate about traveling, and I love the nearby tropical islands on Malaysia’s east coast. My most memorable trips so far have been diving with Manta Rays near Komodo in Indonesia, and backpacking through South-America, where I had the rare chance to witness Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni covered with water – in the dry season! What an unforgettable experience!

On the professional side, my focus areas are entertainment, lifestyle and information technology. I have led PR campaigns for telecommunication and TV companies, game developers, cinemas and movies, just to name a few.

I believe that information technology will become more and more important for entertainment, lifestyle and traveling - and GuideGecko will be part of that movement. Or can you imagine future travelers with their all-in-one-camera-phone-mp3-player in one hand, and an outdated travel-book in the other?
