Maria's story ...

Maria’s journey began in marketing, where she honed her skills after earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in media science. But her real passion? Traveling the globe and soaking up new cultures!

In 2020, a study abroad semester whisked her away to Perth, Western Australia – and she was immediately smitten. After finishing her Master’s back in Germany, she returned to the land down under where she guided international students through the same hurdles she once faced. She even took a detour to the outback, working at a roadhouse before landing a dream job with SeaLink. On her eventual return to Germany, she stayed connected to her love for travel by working in the camping and outdoor industry. And now, Maria’s back where she belongs – right in the heart of the tourism industry!

When not travelling ...

Youll find Maria knee-deep in editing drone and camera footage from her latest adventures. She loves heading to the Baltic Sea near Lübeck for a swim or a spin on her skateboard. And when she’s feeling creative, Maria works on digital drawings inspired by her travels, often featuring the marine wildlife she adores.

Best travel memory ...

Last year, Maria attended her friend’s wedding in Lucknow, India. Arriving early, she and other German guests somehow ended up being invited to another Indian wedding happening at the same hotel. They spent the entire night dancing Bollywood-style and were even filmed by a videographer. The warmth and joy they experienced from their unexpected hosts made it an unforgettable experience!
