I am Nia, born in Germany and lived there almost all my live. But 5 years ago I moved to Italy and was there 1 year very happy, but then came coSHIT. After the first 4 month quarantine, trapped only inside, I had to escape this madness and go away to travel to be outside, in nature 🌴🌊🐒☀️

I love to travel slow, low budget and spend my time with locals. My biggest joy is to be in nature, to watch wild animals. Or being at the beach, hearing the waves and sitting at night at a bonfire under the stars staring at the moon. I’m a food lover and like also to cook.

Sometimes I travel with friends, sometimes on my own! Love both ways of travelling, because when I am alone I meet so many new people, its really an adventure and I don't make many plans for vacation. I simply start und then I go with the flow and do things spontaneously.

I loved to travel the world on my old vespa and meet people all over the world! So far I travelled with my vespa in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Croatia, Slovenia, England, Hungary and Italy (my big love!)! To travel to new place with a vespa, its so magical, because people want to speak with you all the time and you can drive many places a car could never go. Imagine driving on the amalfi coast and you overpass all the cars, that are stuck and you feel a nice breeze :-)

Loved also travelling with a sailboat, so far I did it 5 times. I enjoy the rocking movement of the boat, to stare on the horizon and soak in the sun. To sleep every night under the stars and to wake up automatically with the sunrise. I feel so connected to nature, I am in love with sailing and my dream is to sail the barefoot route.

I love dreaming about new vacations, so Google maps is my favorite app.

I would love to go to Burning man and experience the energy there.
