Mini bio

How it started.

Franzi started the TravelComic blog in 2016 to share photographs and thoughts from her travels. Her early projects included volunteering in the Philippines in 2017 and an overland journey from Istanbul to the Philippines in 2019 to raise donations against child labor.

The yellow car years.

Her Türkiye videos brought her wider attention. Through 81 Reasons to Fall in Love with Turkey, she set out to make a video about every province, encouraging people to explore their own country. Fans also got to know Limon, her yellow Tofaş, and the conversations and repairs that come with life on the road.

Walking for a cause.

On March 1, 2023, she began a Sultans Trail hike from Vienna toward Istanbul, linking the 2,400-kilometer route to fundraising for people affected by the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. The project supported local organizations working on housing, education, children, animals and small businesses.

A place to come home to.

In 2025 she explained her move from Istanbul to life in the woods. Her videos now make room for camping, her dog Haşmet and reflections on belonging alongside her travels. She continues to film and edit her own work.
