LIFE OUTSIDE OPEN RIDE

I spent six years at uni studying history, English & international relations, so naturally I work for television and my mom still helps me to fill out tax forms. Spinning through life’s ups and downs, because who needs stability when you have endorphins?

Road cycling, tennis and feminist books make me happy. So does Prosecco. And yes, it’s possible that I’m eating pistachio cream with a spoon.

MY SOUND

Electro, Hip-Hop, Dubstep, Trap, Latin. Curveball: My all-time favorite artist is Taylor Swift. Swiftie gone rogue, so to say.

BEING OPEN MEANS…

Having the compassion, curiosity and patience for another person‘s human experience – whatever that may be.

WHEN I SWEAT, I FEEL…

After my first ride at Open Ride, I turned to my friend and said: Every second of this feels like pure joy, I don‘t think I‘ve ever experienced that in a workout.
