About Me

Hey! 😊

I’m currently solo traveling in Thailand. In November, I quit my jobs in Munich and decided to take a break from career coaching and art education. I spent the last three months in India—first volunteering at a surf hotel in Varkala, in the south of India, for about a month, then traveling around the region. Now, I’m in Koh Phangan and might head to Koh Tao soon because I’d love to try diving!

I’m a curious and open-minded person who loves discovering new cultures and places. Traveling makes me feel alive, present in the moment, and genuinely happy.

I love being in nature—especially in and around water. Even though I’m not a pro, I’m passionate about surfing and the whole surf lifestyle. 😊 I also enjoy yoga, fitness, and sports in general. Art and music are also essential parts of my life.

I love to be in nature, especially in the water. Even if I'm not a pro at it, I really love surfing, being in the ocean and the whole surf-lifestyle. :) I also love yoga, fitness and sports in general. Apart of that I appreciate arts and music a lot and it's very important to me :)
