About Me

I'm currently traveling with bicycle and tent 🚲🏕🏞. I started in Hamburg on the 1st of July 2020. So far I've cycled to Amsterdam, Bruges, Lille, Paris, Geneva, Lyon, Montpellier, the Pyrenaes, Bordeaux and many beautiful places in between.

It's already my second time traveling like this. The first time I cycled from Hamburg to Georgia 🇬🇪 together with a friend.

Usually I sleep in my tent at a random place in the beautiful nature, where I feel the surroundings are nice and/or comfortable. But sometimes I like to stay at hosts, in order to meet the people who live at the places where I cycle :-).

Well, and before I've started doing this, I had a job as an in-house consultant, which I have quit in autumn 2019 because it simply didn't fullfil me.
