Adventure at First Flight

Hey! I am Feven; a girl with a crush on traveling since 2010. A freelance marketer, solo traveler, mentor & chocolate addict. Welcome to Flightmodefeven. It’s the beginning of a love story between me and the world. 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.

As seen in:

Hi, I'm Feven

Behind every passionate traveler is a story.

I’m a girl who believes hard work turns dreams into reality. Raised in Germany with Eritrean roots, I’ve called sunny Barcelona home for 8 years. I’m a marketer passionate about helping others and exploring the world.

In 2010, a few months in Australia changed everything. Before that, I’d only been to five countries. That trip opened my mind and sparked my love for solo travel. I learned you don’t need a lot of money or someone by your side to discover the world. Traveling solo with confidence changed my life.

The Most Remote Place I've Been

Where my soul first caught wanderlust

AUSTRALIA

That moment in 2010 when kangaroos became my alarm clock and the Outback became my therapist. Australia just changed my life itinerary and rewired my DNA.

Where silence roars louder than glaciers

ANTARCTICA

The year I traded tapas for icebergs! I became one of the 0.0001% of humans to set foot here. Still finding ice dust in my camera bag… and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Where evolution does happy hour daily

GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS

I swam with sea lions who photobomb better than Instagram influencers, walked on lava fields older than human history, and finally understood why Darwin ditched medical school.

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.

Why a Blog about solo female travel?

I’ve always loved exploring and writing. So I combined both by sharing my travel stories on Instagram. What started as a hobby quickly turned into something more when women began asking: How do you travel alone? How do you afford it? Now, I share what I’ve learned to help and inspire you to travel too.

What can you expect from my blog?

You’ll find inspiration, tips, and a little travel magic: No matter if you’re just starting or already traveling solo

I share resources, real stories from the road, and everything you need to feel confident, safe, and empowered to explore.

You dream of passport stamps and fearless freedom. Solo travel can be your most empowering chapter yet.

2010

My First Big Trip

Before 2010, I hadn’t seen much of the world, just a few  countries. That changed when I traveled to Australia for the first time. I spent a couple of months there, and it completely shifted my world. It sparked a fire in me. A passion for discovering new places and cultures.

2010–2015

The Travel Bug Took Over

Once I got back, I realized something: I didn’t need to be rich to see the world, just resourceful. I cut down on shopping and redirected my money to what made me feel alive: travel. I learned how to travel on a budget and how to go solo without fear.

2016

Moved to Barcelona, Spain

My love for exploring led me to leave Germany and move to sunny Barcelona for what I thought would be a three-month Erasmus internship. Fast-forward to today: I’ve been here for over eight years. Barcelona became my home base, full of international vibes that keep me inspired.

From 5 Countries to All 7 Continents

When I left for Australia, I had only visited five countries. By 2024, I had officially stepped foot on every continent. The last one being Antarctica. From climbing volcanoes to skydiving, from ancient cities to sacred sites like Jerusalem, each journey has shaped who I am.
