I am a passionate amateur photographer who loves travelling. There is nothing more fascinating to me than the cultures, landscapes and people of foreign countries.

My girlfriend and I have recently returned from a 13 months long around the world trip - leading us through South America where we followed the Andes from Panama to Patagonia, down the west coast of Australia from Darwin to Perth and to Singapore, Malaysia, Borneo and Burma. In our blog there is a lot more information about the whole journey (German only).

Currently I am in the process of adding pictures from this trip to Fotopedia. Most shots were taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 bridge camera for which I decided because I needed to watch the weight of the luggage (although I have to say that I sometimes regret that decision and wish I would have taken an SLR with me).
