My travel chronicles - where travel planning meets travel photography
Welcome to the blog section of my travel photography website, where travel planning meets creativity, and every adventure is captured through a unique lens! Whether you're planning your first city escape or you're a seasoned traveller and photographer looking for fresh inspiration, you're in the right place.
Travel is about so much more than just checking off the top tourist attractions—it’s about diving deep into the soul of a place, savouring its flavours, discovering its hidden gems, and capturing its essence in ways that go beyond the postcard-perfect shots. Here, you'll find everything you need to craft your next adventure, from meticulously planned city guides that highlight not just the must-see landmarks, but also those tucked-away spots that make for extraordinary photos. I’ll share tips on where to stay, what to eat (especially if you're a fan of local craft beer!), and where to go to snap those unique, frame-worthy images that tell a story beyond the typical tourist narrative.
But it doesn’t stop there. Travel photography is at the heart of everything I do, and I want to help you elevate your skills, whether you're just starting out or already have years of experience behind the camera. My photography blogs are filled with practical advice on how to take great photos in a variety of settings—from the bustling streets of a new city to the quiet corners where the light hits just right. I'll also walk you through post-processing techniques that can transform a good photo into a stunning one, so you can make your memories look as vivid as the moments themselves.
And if you’re the kind of traveller who likes to maximize every trip, you’ll love my multi-city travel planning guides. These are perfect for those who want to connect the dots between cities, exploring multiple destinations in a single journey while making the most of their time and budget. I’ll show you how to create seamless itineraries that blend exploration, relaxation, and of course, plenty of photo opportunities.
Since I aim to make this content accessible to as many travellers and photographers as possible, you'll also find some of my blogs translated into German (Deutsch) and Spanish (Español). This way, you can enjoy the same in-depth guides and tips in your preferred language.
So, whether you're here to plan your next adventure, improve your travel photography skills, or simply find inspiration for your next journey, I hope my blogs inspire you to see the world in new and exciting ways. Grab your camera, pack your bags, and let's embark on this journey together—one city, one photo, and one unforgettable experience at a time!
Boston - the capital of New England
Boston makes the perfect entry point for your trip to the USA, especially if you´ve never been to the US before. The city itself feels very cosmopolitan with its big number of international students. The architecture will remind you of a nice English or European city. It´s less busy than New York City and less intimidating than other US cities …
Singapore - the Lion City in Southeast Asia
Singapore was my second long-haul destination (after the US) and my first in Asia. It makes a perfect introduction to Asia as it´s still very European and it´s not too overwhelming like other Asian cities. Though one thing you´ll notice very quickly is how clean it is.
The name Singapore is derived from Sanskrit and means Lion City (Singha = Lion, Pura = City). Singapore is a melting pot of different culture from Asia and Europe…
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
Similar to other cities like Dresden, Budapest, Madrid and Boston, Bangkok holds a special place in my life. Back when I started working my company put me in Bangkok for 6month to work on projects in Singapore and Perth, Australia. Obviously, being young …
Dresden - Florence on the Elbe
For me Dresden is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, fair enough I might be biased as I grew up there. Nevertheless, there is a reason why Dresden is also known as the Florence on the Elbe: it´s just as strikingly beautiful. Especially after the reconstruction of the area around Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) that stood there as a waste land…
New York City - the City that never sleeps
New York City is for me one of the most exciting cities, so it`s no wonder that since 2005 I been multiple times and every time I find new things, being cultural, architectural or culinary. And obviously there is no lack of photo opportunities in the Big Apple…
Next Destination: Shanghai - How I plan my trip to China
I am a seasoned traveller that works in the travel industry and it`s fairly rare these days that I think about planning a trip extensively. Normally, I book the flights and accommodation and play it by the ear when I arrive. Obviously, I do some basic research about what to see and do.
This time it`s a bit different because the destinations are Shanghai and Beijing in China…
Train trip Switzerland
This is my first blog entry, so I would like to introduce myself. First things first: I love to travel. I like to go to new places, but I also like to go back to places especially if I had no time to explore everything.
I also love to take photos. In 2013 I got my first DSLR camera and I started to enjoy travelling even more…
