Hey. Hallo. Hola. Selam. I am Feven, a freelance marketer, solo traveler, mentor & chocolate addict.
Flight Mode Feven. Behind every passionate traveler is a story. It’s the beginning of a love story between me and the world. I will share my travel stories and photos with you. The good experiences will inspire you, and the bad ones will help you to avoid them. Want to join me on this adventure? Follow my journey on Instagram for real-time updates and behind-the-scenes of my travels.
I can explain my mission in three words: empower, educate, and inspire. I want you to have the best travel experience. No matter how you imagine it. Traveling alone shouldn't be difficult. If you dream of traveling the world, then finding me brings you one step closer. Luckily, I will find your “how”.
Here's my story to inspire you to change yours
My story - Work hard, travel harder. Once upon a time, there was a girl who knew that hard work makes dreams come true. Raised in Germany with Eritrean roots, I’ve spent the last 8 years calling sunny Barcelona my home. I am a Marketer who is lucky to do what I love: helping others and traveling the world.
It all started in 2010 when I lived in Australia for a couple of months. Until that time I wasn’t able to travel and I only have been to 5 countries. But Australia changed my life. I realized it was time to open my mind and see the beautiful world. Traveling and finding beauty in every place makes life memorable. So my financial priorities changed (less shopping) and every time I could, I saved money to see new places. And I found out that you don’t need a lot of money to see the world.
With some tricks, you can travel with a low budget. And that you don’t need someone to travel. I learned to feel comfortable traveling by myself and left my comfort zone. It always proved to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
I love getting lost and capturing everything on camera, like:
- Hiking
- Visiting places I’ve always wanted to see, like Philadelphia, to visit the birthplace of one of my favorite movies, Rocky Balboa
- Climbing a volcano and jumping out of an airplane
- Discovering the holy city of Jerusalem.
Traveling is like investing in yourself, you learn more when you escape your everyday life.
And since my travel thirst was not fulfilled, and I developed a traveler mindset, I decided to leave Germany (Auf Wiedersehen, Deutschland!) to live la vida loca in Barcelona - Hola España!
It all began with an Erasmus internship in 2016. I only wanted to stay for three months, but 6 years later, I am still in love with this city and its vibes. It sounds like the classic Erasmus love story, right? Even though my heart belongs to the world, Barcelona is my home.
3 Things To Know About Flight Mode Feven
Why Flight Mode Feven?
The name symbolizes two things: The passion for travel and the desire to disconnect from daily life. When I use my phone's flight mode, I either fly or seek calm during a stressful day to focus on myself. Then I can recharge for the daily chaos we call life.

Why Solo Travel?
Travel has always been my passion. Every trip teaches me something new, and I love sharing those lessons with others. What started as a hobby on Instagram quickly turned into a way to answer the questions I was getting, especially from women:
- How do I travel solo?
- How can I afford it?
- How do I do it so often?
I decided to share my knowledge and experiences to encourage and empower other women to travel confidently on their own terms.
