Sri Lanka in 100 photographs
It was during my third and final year at UCL that I decided to extend my half term break and book (relatively) cheap flight tickets to Sri Lanka. I had a pretty full plate with lab experiments for my dissertation, job applications and general London chaos, […]
Incredible India – Part Two
Voila, a bit more of India’s magic! Part Two of my parent’s India photos, edited using VSCO.
Incredible India – Part One
India is an unbelievable country full of colour, contrasts, energy and spice! In 2008 my family travelled around Rajasthan in the Northern India for a couple of weeks. The trip will always remain one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences I have had in my […]
Cuba #8 – On The Road
Photos taken from the car, in the car, of the car, around the car. Photos of bizarre situations, crazy perspectives, beautiful landscapes, people passing by. All things Cuban, some things blurry. Endless roads disappearing over the horizon. We spent an insane amount of time in our […]
Cuba #7 – Magical Havana
Havana is a city like no other. The colonial architecture, the music, the busy street life, the colours, the cigar dealers, the cars – it is uniquely beautiful. We spent many days just wandering about the streets of Centro Habana, which I preferred 100% to the touristy […]
Cuba #6 – Nature Shots
Gecco photos courtesy of G.M.F. He probably took the best pictures in this post. Enjoy!
Cuba #5 – Amazing Light
Uni is killing me at the moment so I decided to give myself a little treat by looking through my Cuba photos again. For this little category there were hundreds of photos to choose from. Sunsets, thunderstorms, night skies, sunrise, sun rays in the jungle, pretty […]
Cuba #4 – They have this thing called communism
Cuba was a lot more communist and dysfunctional than I expected. Communism and South American lifestyle – the worst possible combination ever if you like to get things done. God, it was a pain in the ass to get what you wanted. I’m not a […]
Cuba #3 – The Colourful Maze of Trinidad
This was one of my favourite stops of our roundtrip. We spent more nights in Trinidad than in any other town, except for Havanna. The fact that we found a restaurant that served good food might have been a pretty significant contributing factor to why we stayed […]
Cuba #2 – People
Cuban people either greet with you with the biggest smile or scare you away with a terrifying death stare. I love how life here takes place on the street. Half the population is chilling on their front door step. The other quarter of people carefully […]
Cuba #1 – Black&Whites from Havanna
This summer my boyfriend and me travelled to Cuba for a month. I’ve been wanting to go for ages so I am finally able to cross it off my list now – I’m getting closer and closer to my benchmark of visiting 50 countries before I turn […]
Schönes schönes Istanbul
Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and Süleymaniye Mosque – the sightseeing continues on day three. It was a really hot day for all the sightseeing and we weren’t exactly alone but it was stunning anyway! V. and me spent more than three hours getting lost in the many […]
Istanbul Day Two
Even though V. and me are very serious about our sightseeing, there’s always enough time to sleep in. After all we’re here for five days! A juicy fruit breakfast from the local shop followed by a quick espresso and we were good to go. First, a […]
Nice to meet you, Istanbul!
I don’t know why my sister and me have never travelled together before. Just the two of us. We’ve been raised to travel and visit foreign countries the same way. Not only have we learned to appreciate the same things but we also have the same idea […]
Driving along the Syrian border
I learned a lot during my ten days in Lebanon. In hardly any corner of the world it is more interesting to see how culture, politics, religion and language define a people. How a country unites as well as tears apart over these issues. The people are so proud […]
Lebanese Snapshots
This post is a collection of random snapshots I took during my time in Lebanon. Momentaufnahmen is how I like refer to them. Many were taken from the car, some are blurry, some are wanky, none of them edited. I’m finding it very difficult to put […]
Lebanon – the melting pot for everything
After an intense day of sightseeing in Beiteddine, my second day in Lebanon was very relaxed with a bit of beach and a bit of culture. We took the car up North from Beirut, along the seaside road until we reached the many beach clubs of Batroun. There is a very […]
Welcome to Lebanon!
Two of my best friends in London are twins, a boy and a girl, originally from Beirut. My engineering crew had been talking about a trip to Lebanon for a while. But as always, talks hardly ever turn into plans with people as busy as […]
