Ich schreibe schon seit einigen Jahren für verschiedene Outdoor-Auftraggeber über meine Backpacking- und Fahrradabenteuer. Meine Leidenschaft fürs Reisen habe ich meinen Eltern zu verdanken, die mich bereits als Jugendliche in spannende Länder wie Kuba oder Namibia mitgenommen haben. Mit Ende Zwanzig verkaufte ich all mein Hab und Gut und ging mit meinem Partner auf eine 19-monatige (Welt-)Reise durch den mittleren Osten, Südostasien und Ozeanien. Bikepacking mache ich bereits seit 2013 und erkunde vor allem Europa mit Gravelbike und Zelt. Außerdem bin ich passionierte Mountainbikerin und mit meinem Enduro in den Alpen oder Mittelgebirgen unterwegs. /// I've been writing about my backpacking and cycling adventures for various outdoor clients for several years now. I owe my passion for traveling to my parents, who took me to exciting countries like Cuba and Namibia when I was a teenager. In my late twenties, I sold all my belongings and went on a 19-month (world) trip with my partner through the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Oceania. I've been bikepacking since 2013, mainly exploring Europe by gravel bike and tent. I'm also a passionate mountain biker and ride my enduro bike on every hill I can find.
