WHO WE ARE​

Travelling Athletes is part of the German company obu travel GmbH & Co. KG, which was founded by us, Julian & Helge back in 2015. Our enthusiasm for sports and tourism, however, was born a long time before that. Competitive sports have been part of our everyday life since our early childhood. Apart from living a very active lifestyle, the desire to get to know and understand new cultures had been inside us for a long time. Thus, we have been travelling and living in different parts of the world for many years. Subsequent Bachelor and Master degrees in the fields of sports, tourism and management helped us build the foundation for the big plan ahead... In 2015, we finally decided to follow our dreams and start the journey by founding the obu travel GmbH & Co. KG. After first only offering fitness holidays to the German-speaking market under the name "Reiseathleten" (German for Travelling Athletes), we decided in 2020 that it was finally time to take the next step...
