Sina Reischauer
Manager
Travel is part of my identity. I grew up in England and Germany, have lived in Peru, Argentina, and Spain, and have backpacked across five continents.
Sustainable, community-based tourism is very close to my heart. I also love greenery in my personal life; as an avid gardener, I grow flowers and vegetables on my city balcony.
Ronja Becker
Manager
My love of travel—and the sea in particular—began early on, with childhood holidays on the North Sea island of Wangerooge and unforgettable family trips to Spain.
This early wanderlust soon evolved into a desire to live abroad. A few years ago, I took the plunge and moved to Great Britain as an au pair—a move that turned into a lasting adventure.
