Travel photos are like little time machines—they don’t just show you what happened; they bring back all those feelings too. That’s what this page is all about: capturing those small moments, whether they’re quiet and subtle or the ones that really scream, “Wow, that was so us!”
Sometimes it’s a favorite spot, sometimes a detail we almost missed, and other times it’s just a snapshot tied to a story we don’t want to forget. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates those little impressions more than the big highlights, you’ll fit right in here.
So grab your coffee (or tea), scroll through, and let those moments speak to you.
When people ask me, “Is Davao City worth visiting?”, I always need a moment before I answer. Not because I dislike Davao. We live here. It became our home base in the Philippines. It gave me a new life, space to breathe again, and it is Lizz’s hometown. So yes, Davao is important to us. …
I lived in Munich for 22 years. That is a long time. Long enough to know a city beyond the postcard version. Long enough to have memories, routines, favourite corners, good years and bad years. Long enough to understand why people love Munich. And I did love parts of it. Munich is beautiful. No one …
Some trips start with packing a suitcase, checking your passport, and wondering whether you packed enough sunscreen. My Tahiti trip in the summer of 1999 started with an emergency doctor, a pain injection, a colonoscopy, and the quiet suspicion that I might be flying to French Polynesia to die there. Not exactly the classic beginning …
There are photos that are just photos, and then there are photos that open a whole chapter of life again. This one belongs to the second category. I don’t really have to explain where I took it. The Sydney Opera House in the background tells the story immediately. But for me, this picture means more …
At first glance, this photo looks like a pretty normal shot that I took during a flight: clouds, blue sky, a wing, and somewhere far below, the islands of the Philippines. But what you cannot see in this photo is me behind the camera. You cannot see the required face shield. You cannot see the …
Bali is beautiful, no doubt about that. But sometimes it can feel like every temple, beach, rice terrace, and waterfall has already been turned into a photo stop. You arrive, take the same picture as thousands of people before you, move on to the next “must-see” place, and somehow the real Bali feels a little …
After our posts from last year about Angkor, especially the impressive approach through the South Gate of Angkor Thom, it feels only right to continue the story with one of the most unforgettable temples in Cambodia: Bayon Temple. And honestly, Bayon is one of those places that needs little introduction once you stand in front …
This stunning Rainbow Lorikeet posed for me at Bradleys Head Walking Track in Sydney; it was completely unshy and seemed eager to show off different poses. The vibrant feather colors of the Rainbow Lorikeet, ranging from deep green wings to striking blue and orange underparts, create a breathtaking sight against the backdrop of Sydney’s beautiful …
A snap I took in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, which I kinda wish I hadn’t. Read more.
One of our favorite spots in Mindanao is just a quick road trip away—no need for airline tickets! for us.
