Hey,
I am Rukhsana, German with Iranian roots and a traveller at heart - travelling this beautiful world and meeting lovely people since 2011.

I used to hitchhike a lot and I am still up for some fun on the road. I did a big hitchhiking trip around South America and another one from Germany to Indonesia - including more than 1.000 rides and almost 130.000 km 😍🙏

Now I am up to explore Western Africa and look forward to meet good people, to explore magical places and to have a great time ✨
