Hey!

I am Rieke and a 26 years old traveller from Germany 😊
In 2019, I started my first backpacking trip to Israel and Palestine, after this trip, many countries followed!
I prefer travelling by myself, I think it is easier to be open when you are just by yourself! I like the simplicity of travelling with a backpack and spending the time with other travellers or locals!

In 2021, I finished nursing school in Germany. I like working in my job and I really appreciate what the job gave me of positive qualities and what I learnt about humanity and respecting each other.

In High School, I started to run and I got really passionated about it!🏃‍♀️I did many Half-Marathons in Germany and my first international run in April 2024 in Mississauga, Canada 🇨🇦! I even did a Running Camp in Kenya 🇰🇪 and I loved it!

In addition to running, I am also taking kickboxing classes a few times per week! 🥊

A couple of years ago, I started to like cooking, I like especially the vegetarian and vegan kitchen 👩‍🍳
