Lion Kruse, born in Celle in 1992, completed his master's degree in business administration in 2018. Even as a young student, he was drawn to faraway places and spent a semester at university in South Africa. After completing his studies, Lion gained his first years of professional experience as a strategic purchaser at a well-known German company.
During this time, he repeatedly traveled through Germany and Europe—even then on his bike and with his best friend Addy. Because his wanderlust drew him abroad once again, Lion went to Lisbon, where he lived and worked for a year. As his time in Portugal was coming to an end, he and Addy came up with a daring plan: to cycle around the world!
