Even though Spanish photographer Ana Cabaleiro claims she has no idea on how to use a camera and that she has only picked up photography about 5 years ago, her photos are absolutely stunning. If you look at them you will notice, that she mainly takes pictures of people from behind, in front of a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes. That way, these images give you the impression of standing right …
When a little while ago I joined my friends on a spontaneous short trip to the north of Spain, I didn’t know much about the Basque Country, except that people there wore cool hats. Right before landing, the first look out of the airplane window let me know that this part of Spain would be totally different from what I had expected. Beautiful green mountains, tiny …
New Year’s Eve – that one night of the year that people plan months in advance just to be sure that it is going to be the best night of their year. In most cases, those expectations can hardly live up to reality and more than a few people will end up disappointed with their night. But don’t fret – Travelettes are here to help and give you some …
I have been to Palma de Mallorca a couple of times already. Despite the ongoing cliché of drunken, half naked people sipping sangria through giant straws out of red buckets the Spanish island has a lot to offer. When visiting Majorca, I mainly enjoy life in the South of the island, a big glass of Horchata in hand, overlooking white beaches, turquoise sea and swaying palm trees. But believe it …
Two years ago, us in Germany had a really snowy and white winter for the first time in a long time. My dad took me along on a pleasure flight with a good old cessna. When I watched the snowy fairytale below us, I was so fascinated with the beautiful patterns and graphic structures, the lines and circles, the fields, rivers and streets created underneath the snow, that I started …
Growing up in the sticks of Austria, Klara didn’t see a lot of the world until she packed her rucksack over night and buggered off to Belgium without any other aim but to become a fruit-picker. She never saw a single strawberry but had a wonderful time figuring out that she simply loves travelling. Klara spent the last two years studying in Austria and Lisbon, working in fancy East-London, climbing …
When coming home from small or big trips we do so with hands full of baggage, a ton of great memories and a lifetime worth of digital photos. Back in the days, when photography was still mostly analogue, the best part of coming back from a trip was to collect the freshly developed photos from a photo store of our choice and stick them into a photo album. This way …
I came across Susanne’s work through our Travelettes flickr group. What fascinated me about her photography from the beginning was a certain difference. Her angles are unusual, her composition remarkable. She is based in Essen, the heart of the Ruhr Area and had a great amount of pictures from abroad that kept me interested. All that made her a perfect candidate for our “Through the eyes of…” series and she …
There comes the time in any travelette’s life when it’s time to stop traveling and start enjoying the city we live in. For us, that’s the city of Berlin, home to many fun and curious things to do. So it happened, as it does every week, that we consulted the social calendar which offered concerts, dinner parties, gallery openings and one very odd champion ship….
Do you remember those days in …
Ladies, this post is not going to be about Rock’n’Roll. There’s Rock bars, Rock restaurants, Rock Hotels, Rock Museums and a boat that rocked. But have you ever heard of a restaurant on a rock? Well, I at least know of one. The Rock Restaurant was built on a tiny rock in the ocean in Zanzibar, Tanzania. This lovely place is situated near the shore of the Michanwi Pingwe beach …
