Forced Relationships

1. My first business idea is a "Train-Wedding-Business". Couples who want to combine their honeymoon with their wedding ceremony and book a Train-Wedding. The train brings them safely to their honeymoon destination combined with there wedding party. They can book food and of course there will be a Suite in the train where they can enjoy their wedding night.

You can find something similar at this website: http://railwayweddings.com

2. The second business idea is the "Backpack-Bed-Business". You love your bed? - Of course you do, so why not carry it around with you when you travel? The new Backpack-Bed makes this dream come true. A small package that fits in every backpack can be transformed by pressing a little button in a comfortable bed.

I found this backpack bed on the internet it is made for homeless people. I think thats a good idea!

3. The third business idea is "World-Relationship-Business". So many couples have the dream of traveling together so why not pushing them with our "World-Relationship-Book" just designed for couples. In there you can find many vouchers for adventures at any place on the world and great recommendations from other couples that travelled the world together. You can choose a package of countries and we will make your stay there unique.

On the internet you can find som blogs that are posting about "couple traveling".

I wish this was...

That's an abandoned place in my hometown city Stuttgart. It is a military bunker that was used during the cold war. The US army stored their explosive there.














Here are my Business ideas to give that place a makeover.

1. My first business idea is to open a winery. Around the house the grapes could grow and after harvesting the grapes there is enough space to produce wine. The bunker can be used as a wine cellar, not only to store the wine but to welcome some exclusive guests for a special wine tasting. The house would be a good place for a restaurant that offers local food with the matching self-made wine.

2. The second business idea is to open a spa. The bunker is the perfect location for an indoor pool and some Finnish saunas. The big empty place outside could be replaced by a big lawn, a pool and many sun loungers. Inside the house people can relax at a bar or enjoy a massage.

3. The third business idea is to open an interesting and creative history hotel. The visitors can learn about the history of the cold war, which took place at this bunker. The rooms of the hotel could be designed like an old bunker but of course as comfortable as possible.

My Mindmap

My passion is helping so I came up with a business idea where I can include my passion. I'd like to develop an app for refugees who come to Germany. This app should show them fast and simple all the places and institutions they need, for example where can I find a language school, where is the next mosque / church... or where can I find a doctor and what are his opening times. The app should also help to communicate with others and recommending the places they have been to.

Entrepreneur Profile Assignment

We talked in our class about the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It's a set of seventeen goals including ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, making cities more sustainable, combating climate change, and protecting oceans and forests. The five most important UN SDGs for me are:

1. hunger
2. water and sanitation
3. health
4. education
5. poverty

For my Entrepreneur profile assignment I researched about Dr. Askwar Hilonga. He developed a low cost customizable water filtration system that promises to transform the lives of many Africans. The huge need in his community inspired him, he grew up in a small village in Tanzania and saw with his own eyes the suffering of the people because of polluted water causing water borne diseases. So he decided to solve this problem and came up with his Nanofilter®. 

I'd like to recall the work of my classmate Paula Helena, who presented us Malala Yousafazi. She started fighting for people in need especially for female education when she was eleven years old. That made me think because almost everybody of us knows some people that need help or are treated unfair. Why not stand up for them and start changing something!
