About sway away
What does "sway away" mean?
It's a feeling, a way of life - leaving normal daily life behind and letting yourself drift away from the wide world.
It symbolizes spontaneous adventures, new encounters and memories that last a lifetime.
MEET THE HOST
@sophialuiisa
Hi! I'm Sophia, I come from beautiful Bavaria, I'm in my twenties and my greatest passion is traveling!
From a young age, my parents traveled with my sister and me to several countries – which has always made my view of the world and other cultures special.
Anything to do with languages or foreign countries simply interested me...
In 2019, my parents took me on a 3.5-week tour of China (IG @elli.bsch was also there hehe) and
In 2023, during my apprenticeship, I applied for a 4-week stay abroad in Ireland as part of my school studies.
Since I am a VERY open person - who talks a lot and likes to do so (#oversharer) - I spontaneously decided to go on my first solo trip and therefore I quit my full-time job at the bank in the summer of 2024.
I lived in Zanzibar for two months, where I participated in a volunteer project, explored the entire island, had to make many decisions, and made many new acquaintances.
My second solo trip took me to Morocco in 2025, where I had the opportunity to meet inspiring women from all over the world. That's when I realized how important exchanging experiences is for self-confidence.
As well as for personality development!
Shortly after, I packed my 40-liter backpack and headed to Thailand. I traveled through Asia on a low budget for two months.
Plagued by everything from serious natural disasters to war conflicts - the first month has shaped me accordingly.
At the beginning of the second month, I met up with a friend (IG @ellena.auzinger) in the Maldives ?! This place felt so unreal.
My trip ended in Sri Lanka, together with my boyfriend, who had traveled there especially for that <3
Between my solo trips, I attended a full-time study course and travelled to European countries whenever it was possible.
And by the way, I've been working full-time again since February 2026 :)
Random Facts:
Countries 31/195 (still counting)
Mallorca is and will alsways be my go-to place, it's the place i feel home
I would like to emigrate in the near/distant future
Horror movies: sleeper buses, getting up early, overstuffed wardrobe, not having booked a flight
My absolute favorite color since childhood: ORANGE
I believe in karma
I value: fairness, support, honesty
For me, travel means more than just discovering new places.
For me, it means broadening my horizons, stepping out of my comfort zone, and growing beyond myself.
Every new experience strengthens self-confidence, promotes openness and shows how much is possible when you dare to take the first step.
My mission is to inspire people to learn from each other - possibly to gain new perspectives and, above all, to create memories.
I would love to implement all of this in my favorite places!
