Hi! My name is Franzi, and here I share my experiences and adventures — the Zimelien of my world trip.

I went on a world trip in September 2022, originally for an indefinite period, and fulfilled a long-held dream of mine.

Now, in 2025, I am in a period of transition — from full-time world travel to a life in which traveling will continue to play a major role.

I already had the chance to explore four of the seven continents even before my world trip. Now I have also traveled in Asia and Australia.

Maybe I’ll make it to all seven continents someday.

In 2022, I gave up my apartment, sold all my furniture, and quit my job. Why all that?

Because I want to be unbound. Because I don’t want any obligations that could influence me, my decisions, or my path. I want to give myself the chance to decide completely intuitively, “from the gut.” To be free in choosing what I do and where I go, for as long as if fells good.
