About Me

Hi I am habiba , u can call me habob Until now, I am a student. I didn't leave my country, but since I was young, my goal was to travel and learn about cultures and peoples. I think that travel is like life, that it gives wisdom with pleasure. I am here to achieve this dream. I hope to travel the world. So far my hobbies are many because I like to try things I love sports, playing, reading, drawing and walking. I love my university studies (medical student) and I even like to help my dad in repairing the house.

About Me

Hey there, I'm Steph! 28 years old, living in Germany and discovered solo travel for myself in the past few years. I'm very active and a bit of an adrenaline junkie. At home I would do weightlifting and track&field as my main sports, but I also love to play volleyball, touch football, go hiking, bouldering, Pilates and so much more. In my downtime I love to read books, and I'm a bit of a softie. I like to journal, do yoga, meditate and just generally be as present as I can. Always keen to connect over a good coffee, get recommendations for hidden gems and explore new places 🤗🤍

Solo travel experience

Started in Kenya in Mombasa, flew to Rwanda and did the gorilla trek, and over landed and camped through Rwanda, Uganda, and back to Kenya. Then flew to South Africa and drove along the coastline of Cape Town, Hermanus, Simons Town, Gansbaai, and Stellenbosch. Trip of a lifetime.
