Outdoor Adventures in California & Photography

I'm Vanessa, a German girl living in the stunning state of California, where I have deeply fallen in love with the diversity and natural beauty of the Golden State. As an outdoor, travel and photography enthusiast, I am excited to share my best photography shots as well as the travel stories and guides BEYOND them with you!

Exploring the outdoors and photography are closely intertwined for me. I’m a hiker and traveller as much as I call myself a photographer. I typically don’t venture out solely to photograph, but rather to capture the tiny and larger wonders that I encounter along my travels. I strive to show that when exploring the outdoors, there’s a pretty good chance to find something magical along the way.

I invite you to follow along my journeys, where I’d love to inspire you to explore the outdoors with open eyes and to sharpen your senses for the wonders of this world.
