Female Freedom. True Stories. Unique Perspectives.

Female Freedom.
True Stories.
Unique Perspectives.

Als Frau allein unterwegs zu sein, bedeutet Mut, der manchmal nach Angst schmeckt. Flughäfen und Busbahnhöfe werden zu Übergangsorten, Straßen zu Lehrern, Fremde zu Spiegeln, die mir zeigen, wer ich bin, wenn niemand zusieht.

In 83 Ländern habe ich gelernt: Freiheit ist kein geografischer Punkt, sondern ein innerer Zustand. Wachstum liegt nicht in Büchern, sondern in Momenten – in Begegnungen, in Stille, in Grenzen, die ich gesprengt habe. Mut entsteht, wenn ich losgehe, obwohl mein Herz zittert.

Begleite mich auf meinen Reisen durch Essays, Kolumnen und Guides und entdecke neue Perspektiven – oder erfahre mehr über mein unkonventionelles Leben.
