  • Description

    Hey there dearest travel fellows!
    I'm a German-Canadian currently based in Germany. I have lived in Germany, Canada, Holland, Spain, and Indonesia and therefore love connecting with different cultures, landscapes and am always up for the next adventure.

    I love being in nature and staying active — whether it’s dancing, climbing, boxing, mountain biking or simply breathing deeply in the forest. I'm a true all-rounder: not a pro in any one thing, but passionate about exploring, learning, and mixing things up.

    One of my big passions is photography — especially analog. I love capturing real people and genuine moments. Professionally, I’ve worked in fashion and textiles, graphic design, and other creative fields. I love telling stories — especially those about craft, cultural heritage, and meaningful, purposeful work.
    Sometimes I drink wine and get lost in deep conversations — whether with like-minded souls or people with totally different perspectives. I also love a sober life of yoga, reading and being in nature. I'm curious, open, and always excited to connect.

    Looking forward to meeting you! Love to you all
