The Risk We Take. Life is a Story - story.one

Isn´t it the risks that make an adventure?Two best friends, one wild plan: backpacking through Australia without hostels, without safety nets.Ronja and Maggs don´t swipe for dates: they swipe for rides, couches, and strangers to show them hidden places. Every match is a chance. Every chance a risk.There are pasta nights that feel like family. Rides that end in laughter; or in rain-soaked detours. Encounters that leave them wondering how much risk is too much. But the greatest test isnt always the strangers: it´s each other. Because even the strongest friendship bends under pressure."The Risk We Take" is a story of loyalty and tension, of learning when to push, when to hold back, and when to protect each other - no matter what. A coming-of-age road trip where trust is the only map, and friendship the greatest risk - and reward - of all.Inspired by the true risks we took and the ones we almost didn´t.

Growing up with a curiosity that often led her into unexpected adventures, Gap Rose has always been drawn to the unpredictable. At fifteen, she spent a year in Australia, an experience that sparked a love of travel, serendipitous encounters, and the kind of stories that only seem believable when they re lived. "The Risk We Take" is inspired by her own experiences, including a backpacking trip through Australia with her best friend in 2022 - though she ll leave it to readers to guess how much of it actually happened. Now living in Dresden, where she moved to study Languages and Literature, Gap Rose divides her time between capturing the world through her camera lens, baking elaborate (or occasionally questionable) treats and disappearing into books, movies, and TV shows like a professional explorer of imaginary worlds.
