About Me


Immerse yourself with people from all over the world, take that big step and fly to your next destination. I have met many, many travelers on my trips, all with their own story. Beautiful isn’t?

Don’t feel lonely my friend, as a solo traveler we will find joy in our next destination!

Meeting new people, crossing borders by bike and exploring beautiful new (rural) places is my style of travelling. At least stay active!

Biggest flex: never felt homesick

Cycling, playing chess and watching sciencefiction movies are my biggest activities besides studying laboratory research (biology) in Groningen. There is a lot of possibilities within my studies to specialize in and virology and immunology are my biggest interests.

** TRAVEL EXPERIENCES **

Since my urge to see and travel the world started, I planned big trips by bike. At first I was limited by summer holidays only (2020 and 2021) but for this trip (2022) I will skip one semester, travelling ~7 months including 4,5 months by bike and 2,5 months to Indonesia by plane. I will travel ~6000 km to Baku in Azerbaijan going by bike and public transport. It is the most amazing way of travelling since you are seeing most of a country, having some time alone and meeting people when you arrive. My spirit is to stay active, travel a lot and appreciate the place where you are going. Do you want to become my travel companion? Take that shot and meet me!
