Daphne Yucel
After having played gym bunny on and off for 15 years, I was introduced to CrossFit in 2014. But it took another year before I was brave enough to jump into the world of thrusters, rowing and handstands. Maybe “limped” would be a better choice of words, since I started out already injured and never fully recovered. My wods are always scaled and modified and so far, every box that I have visited has been very accommodating.
My job as well as my wonderlust take me to different places around the world, which gives me the amazing opportunity to get a taste of how it is to wod abroad. Meeting like-minded people, being welcomed into their 2nd homes and community is an awesome experience and I really enjoy sharing my insights with you all!
I’m enjoying every minute of this lifestyle. CrossFit clears my mind. It shows me that I can do things I never thought I could do. I have met wonderful people all over the world and made friends for life. And.. I get to eat more ;)
