For me, traveling is not only the greatest leisure activity of all, but also the greatest life experience one can have. I love to discover many new places in a short time while travelling and I like to allow myself a break from my everyday life in Germany. No matter if I relax or explore many places during the trip, I always return strengthened and motivated. It's always a little bit for me, as if I would start a new chapter of my life afterwards.

I also find it remarkable how my sense of time changes during my travels. Often at special moments I have the feeling that time really stands still and in general, when I have seen and experienced a lot of new things within a short time, I feel as if I had actually been travelling for much longer. My boyfriend and I sometimes look at each other after three or four days and say that it feels as if we had been travelling for at least two weeks. It's a great feeling because it allows us to make the most of our holiday time. When I'm abroad, the perception of my own culture and mentality always increases. By discovering parallels and differences, I see Germany, my home country, through different eyes and I perceive the cultural characteristics more strongly.

Traveling gives me a feeling of freedom and it allows me to look beyond my own nose and to grow beyond myself again and again. Nevertheless I can always be myself one hundred percent and realize my dreams. While traveling I also get inspiration for my everyday life. For instance I partly came up with the idea to create this homepage during our last road trip in Scandinavia.
