No plan — courage as a woman travelling alone
What I learned on my solo trip through Iran about trust, prejudice and one's own gut feeling.
Speaker
Stories that stay with you.
I speak about what I have lived: travelling without a plan, strangers who take you in, the question of what actually makes a life rich. For stages that want more than slides.
Topics
Encounter as a life strategy
Why the most important turning points in my life didn't come from plans, but from strangers' living rooms.
Travel, grow, live — change in the second half of life
Setting off when others slowly want to arrive. For women, companies and teams in times of transition.
Between Porini and Switzerland
How I live in two worlds — and what Western organisations can learn from Tanzania and Kyrgyzstan about resilience.
