This is Me
Who am I, The Young Traveler?
A free soul with an untamed vision and an essence-driven calling
I’m Kayleen, a 19-year-young traveler from Germany, who has been living in Spain since I was 3 and now runs this travel blog. My passion has always been traveling, but not the usual kind. Instead, it’s about chasing the essence of traveling, discovering my true self, and building a meaningful legacy through real connections.
Already at just 9 years old, I let go of everything else to follow this calling. From that moment on, since 2011, my roaming soul has carried me across 54 countries on 5 continents—exploring humans, cultures, and those quiet, profound moments that reveal what truly matters.
Over the years, this travel journey of mine—full of vulnerability, wonder, and growth—has become the very heart of who I am: a lifelong pursuit of deeper meaning, authentic encounters, and experiences that reshape how we see the world and ourselves. Ultimately, it stands as my perpetual
calling — chasing that profound essence through every step.
Ultimately, it represents a perpetual pursuit of deeper meaning, authentic encounters, and the kind of experiences that reshape how you see the world and yourself.
But make a travel wonderland
