Bohemian Autumn

A lovely autumnal hello to everyone, 

it's been a while since my last blog post. University did start, I had to work, took photos, you know how everything works. And as I am now in my final year at Uni, there are a lot of things to do. I go nearly every day to the library and read a lot. That makes me tired, but when I find time I love to go out with friends, taking some pictures, chatting and enjoying live. Isn't autumn beautiful? It is so good to see how nature changes. And thank god, the last days were always sunny. 
As I am traveling soon to Kenya I had to prepare some things. Apply for visa (till now I don't have it, I'm going crazy!), choosing clothes I will take with me - there were some really interesting things happening recently. I am so excited! In some days I can hopefully tell you what is going on right now. 
Yes, Kenya. Has anyone of you already been there? I've never been to Africa (okay, I don't count North Africa, because it is to me more Arabian, which is of course also great!) But I didn't see flamingos in Egypt, I didn't do any Safari there. So this is what I'm excited for! Although I don't stay for so long there (Uni...) it is a chance to escape cold Germany. 
Most of the time I will stay in Nairobi - if you have any suggestions for museums, places to be, restaurants or shopping areas, let me know.
But now to my outfit post. I am so in love with this Zara jacket, it is handmade (wow!) and simply amazing. To dress it a little down and make it more casual I combined it with my Urban Outfitters Mom Jeans, a grey sweatshirt and my Dr. Martens. What do you think?

Folk

Hello everyone, 

it's getting autumn in Germany. Finally! I love this season, leaves change their color, temperatures decrease. You're spending your day with hot chai and loads of chocolate. Candles and lovely music everywhere. Yes, that is autumn. 
I created a playlist for my Iceland trip, it brings the feeling of freezing temperatures back - perfect for this season. If you're interested in listening to it, just klick. 
Most of the time I'm wearing big cozy sweaters or cardigans, oversize band shirts and some comfy trousers, funny patterned socks and of course my Dr Martens. What are your favorite pieces of the season? 
A huge inspiration is currently #folkmagazine (klick)
Here are some pictures that came to my mind while thinking of a new part of the year.

This photo was taken in Vestfirðir, Iceland. It got darker, nature was ready for the night. But not us, we still had a long distance to go. But we had to stop on this 'street' (It is not what we would call street in Germany) and had to capture this moment. No one around us, the next city was about 70km away. It was cold, windy and rainy, but we walked a little and were thankful for life.

My favorite analog camera is this Ricoh KR- Super II. And a painting I made. Autumn is made for art, isn't it?

When I dream, I see

Hæ, 

today was a good day - i got my new Olympus Pen E-PL7. What a lovely camera! I tried out some functions, made some pictures and couldn't stop smiling for the whole day. 

I'm testing the camera before I can give a review on it, but I am already really impressed. 

As photography is a huge hobby of mine I would also define the role of it.

Some of you may have seen the quote on my Instagram profile I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. 

It is from Gordon Parks, an African American photographer, the first black photographer that got attention from the whole US. His work was inspired by the conception of freedom. His quote is still so important and newsworthy. The camera could definitely be a weapon against poverty, racism and other social wrongs. Just imagine the fact that photos can even show people's feelings. A picture says more than a

thousand words. What I wanted to write down considering to the current refugee situation and the growing racism in our country is, that no one has the right to judge. I see young people in Germany, hating people who have a different skin color or religion. They seem to hate everything and everybody without a reason. Step against all sorts of social wrongs and take your camera. Start making the world better with pictures, that show your feelings and happiness.

Iceland, my love.

Hey guys, 

my first ever blog entry, how exciting! As some of you may know from Instagram I spend some time in Iceland. It was probably the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen, from glaciers to volcanoes you'll find everything.

As we made a road trip through the country I decided to write down some of our stops, starting with the first days. 

Day 1: Endless roads to Selfoss

I decided to travel with my lovely brother to Keflavík. As I am a really spontaneous traveller I never book any hotel room or a car. (my parents used to hate it :D) 

We took our first step on Icelandic ground around 2pm, impressed of the landscape around us. After we got a car from the rental service our tour began. The beautiful city Selfoss was our first stop. What we didn't expect was that Iceland was THAT stunning. Although the road was just around 100km, it took us at least 3 hours, because we stopped everywhere. I can't describe the feeling I had, even the pictures can't describe it. The feeling of freedom, endless roads, fresh air and the cold wind in your hair. When I think of it, I could start to cry. It was a chance to forget worries, university work, exams. I had the feeling of endless freedom the whole time.

Arriving in Selfoss we were impressed from all the cute houses, the simple and beautiful nordic architecture. After we found a really nice place to stay, we decided to do some grocery. As I am vegan it is always hard to find food in restaurants when I'm traveling. Iceland was no exception. But you'll find a lot of vegan food in grocery stores. They have everything from chia seeds to soy milk. 

Day 2: East of Eden, near Vík

After the friendly men of our B&B made us a good coffee we left Selfoss. Our next destination was Vík í Mýrdal, a small town in south of Iceland - 129km away from Selfoss. 

A landscape  filled with sunshine, music that made my heart even more happy and again the endless Icelandic roads. We stopped at two waterfalls before we arrived in Vík. One was Seljalandsfoss, the other Skogáfoss. Both of them were so impressive! Skogáfoss is 60m high, you can walk on top of it and look down - what a crazy feeling. 

Arriving in Vík we went first to a little restaurant, drank some tea, coffee and ate hummus wraps. The refreshment was really useful, because we went hiking on a little hill, from where we saw the black beach and the endless landscapes of Iceland. We spent the day so lovely, it will forever be in my travel memories. 

Thank you for reading, see you soon.
