At the age of 18, she developed a mucocele after a bone operation, which was removed in an emergency operation.[2] Shaped by the associated fears, she bought a motorcycle, a 1982 Yamaha XT550, and began to travel the world in August 2019.[3] She shares her experiences on social media. Her book BikerGirl: Wie ich die Freiheit suchte und das Leben fand,[1] published in September 2021, reached number 17 on the Spiegel bestseller list.[4] She also writes for websites and magazines such as Motorrad & Reisen[5] and works as a photographer.[6] Harley-Davidson Germany provided her with a custom motorcycle based on an RH975 Nightster[7] in 2022 and appointed her as a brand ambassador.[8]

In 2023, she participated in Season 3 of the reality game show 7 vs. Wild teaming with wildlife photographer Hannah Assil.[9] As of September 2023, she has so far traveled Western Sahara, South America, Southern Europe, Thailand, Iceland and the USA.[6]
