Hi there, this is me!
Hi there, this is me – Anne! 😉
I am a 24 year old girl, currently living in Germany. I love hiking, climbing, snowboarding and recently learned to love surfing very much! I travel the world with a huge smile on my face – no matter what 🙂

Black Sand Beach, Maui
What kind of traveler am I?
My passion is to travel the world, experience new cultures and discover new landscapes! While travelling in the United States a lot over the last few years, I felt the need to structure my trips. I didnt want to miss anything, so I loved to make a plan on how to combine the most stunning sights and hikes. I am still in love with just getting lost somewhere and trying whatever I find – but I dont want to travel to a place & afterwards see, that I missed one of the best secret spots that was just SO close, just because I did not do my research 😉
One thing I really like are multi stop flights! I recently bought a trip Germany – Los Angeles – Calgary in Canada – Maui – Germany and saved a ton of money (only paid 1.000 EUR for all flights!!) with this combination and saw so many different places!

Snorkeling at the Molokini Crater, Maui
Why start another travel blog?
So why did I decide to write a blog?! Because the research part is always taking a lot of work… Maybe someone feels the same way and likes one of my recent trips or somebody finds a nice spot he hasn´t read about yet 🙂 Maybe I can even help somebody to find self confidence to travel the world alone – just get out there, do what you like, no matter if non of your friends or family wants to join! I hiked the Grand Canyon alone (and many other trips) – and I just loved any single second of it!
