Hey,
I’m Madeline — a German-born, Sydney-based writer, bicycle mechanics instructor, public speaker, and textile artist. After discovering my Turkish roots at 26, I set off on a 15-month solo bike journey through 23 countries, from Germany to Australia. I write about the emotional and philosophical insights that arise from slow, intentional travel as a woman on the road. Passionate about sustainability, I live simply, cycle daily, and seek connection through meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
