So much world, so little time ✨ 🗺🏔 #tb to last year’s winter time, where this photo was taken. Days of grey and suddenly there it was: the sun, breathtaking as ever, making ice patches glisten, as if new year was something nature did. Something nature celebrates with dancing spots of light everywhere, blinding your bare eye, making it impossible to see. You’d have to wear sunglasses, but you don’t. So you force your eyes open, trying not to squint, skiing slowly and taking it all in, because this was one of those times where nature painted more beautifully than anything I had ever seen on canvas. Mostly because it was me, part of the painting, submerged in the depth of it, breathing the fresh paint of the first warm sun rays this year. • • Where was a place this year, where your breath was taken and the memory forever engraved in your brain? ✨🌈☀️ Mine was here. @meran.o2000 • • 📸 by me 📝 by me • • • #merano2000 #italy #skiing #nature #iphonephotography #breathtaking #quotes #ski #fitfam #südtirol #loveit #throwback #poet #poetic #blogger #author #newyear2020 #newbeginnings #mountains #alps #diealpen

Balance is the key to everything. ✨ Yet, how do you achieve balance? That is a very philosophical questions.. do leave me your thoughts down below 📩⬇️ what I have been contemplating recently is not as philosophical, but more practical: how do I find a balance between #zerowaste and #ecofriendly 🌱content on here and my blog, while still sharing my love of #travel and #writing about my adventures? 🌍🌷after all my blog is more travel oriented... While I’m over here absorbed in my thoughts, let me give you a tiny sneak peak of the post that just went live on my blog 💌 about arriving in China to greet a good friend I hadn’t seen in over 8 years and learning three lessons in the first hours of my arrival in #shanghai #china 🇨🇳 one was about where and how most Chinese live. Not as I expected and am used to (our houses in Germany are rather small and one family can own a whole house). A huge majority of civilians in the city live in huge housing complexes. Swipe ➡️ for a photo. • “... It started to dawn on me why her home address I always send letters to was so damn complicated. All those identical buildings next to each other with so many stories and flats on each floor and so many different entrances to one building... those poor chinese mailmen!” • The link to the post is in my bio ✨🌈 📸 by me #blogger #travelblogger #travelgram #thoughts #photographer #travelphotography #nikonphotography

“We dive not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” 🙏🏽 DE ➡️ Zuerst, wirklich vom ersten Tauchgang an, fing ich an diese Schwerelosigkeit zu lieben, die ich anfangs noch wirklich gar nicht kontrollieren konnte (Stichwort: Flummi),🤪 ich verliebte mich in die Stille unter Wasser und nach dem vierten Tauchgang auch endgültig in die Unterwasserwelt und dessen Bewohner.🥰 Denn ich hatte komplett unrecht...von wegen die Meeresbewohner trauen sich nicht an Menschen ran. An Schwimmer vielleicht nicht, aber Taucher sind im Meer ganz normale „Meeresbewohner“. 🐋🐙 Das merkte ich zum ersten Mal richtig, als wir auf dem Meer etwas weiter draußen untertauchten und auf einmal von einem Schwarm von ca 200 Mönchsfischen umgeben waren. Die Fische störte das nicht, dass plötzlich vier riesige, unförmige, große laute Luftblasen ausatmende Wesen unter ihnen waren. Im Gegenteil, ein paar waren ganz neugierig und schwammen zB direkt vor meine Maske (=Brille für Nicht-Taucher) und starrten mir in die Augen, entschieden dann, dass ich nicht so interessant war und schwommen wieder weiter. Von dem Tag an, nach und während jedem Tauchgang strahlten meine Augen um die Wette. Ich war unendlich glücklich. ☺️🥰 Doch vor ca einem Jahr tauchte ich zum ersten Mal in nicht europäischen Gewässern. Gelockt von traumhaften Photos, riesen Fischschwärmen und tollen Farben unter Wasser.🐡🐬🦈🦞🐙 Was ich vorfand waren wenige Fische, viele tote Korallenriffe, gebleichte Korallen, eintönige Farben und wenig Leben unter Wasser. Fünf White Tip Sharks waren das absolute Highlight und vereinzelt neue Fisch-Arten zu sehen zB Trompetenfische, bereitete mir Freude, doch insgesamt war meine Laune trüb. Wo waren die bunten Korallenriffe, die es genau hier geben sollte? Wo waren die vielen Fische und Meeresbewohner? Die Antwort von unserem Guide: tot und weg, viele davon💔. Das brach und bricht noch heute das Herz und ist gleichzeitig meine Motivation, was zu verbessern. 💪🏽🌎💙 EN ⬇️ in the comments • • • • #diving #extinctionrebellion #elba #itneedstochange #coralreef #deadcorals #diver #underwater #italy #fridaysforfuture #zerowaste #motivation #globalwarming #climateemergency

“The cure for anything is saltwater. Sweat, tears or the sea.” 🌊🙏🏽 DE ➡️ Hach das Meer! Mein absolutes Herzens Thema. Ich muss zugeben, früher wurde ich auch schon immer liebevoll „Wasserratte“ von meiner Tante genannt, weil man mich z.B. im Sommerurlaub oder an Exkursionen an Seen nicht aus dem Wasser bekam. Ich genoss es einfach stundenlang mit meinem Bruder meinen Kopf unter Wasser zu haben und den paar Fischchen zuzuschauen, die es in die Nähe der #Küste verschlagen hatte🐠🐟. Gelegentlich veranstaltete wir Wettrennen wer schneller aus dem Wasser war, wenn wir eine Qualle entdeckt hatten oder schauten wahlweise wer sich näher an die Qualle herantraute. #funfact Vor zwei wurde ich dann von einer guten Freundin (shoutout @mag.mag.dich ) eingeladen mit ihr nach #Elba zu fahren und den Tauchschein zu machen. Ich hatte keine großen Erwartungen ans Tauchen, ich dachte, das wäre mal witzig und Fische 🐟🐡sieht man wahrscheinlich eh nicht, weil die sich ja nicht an Schwimmer herantrauen... aber boy, was I wrong... 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 wie es wirklich war, erfahrt ihr im nächsten Post 😋 • • EN➡️ Vitamin Sea, I like to say. 🌊Throughout every year I kind of develop a deficiency, which once I’m near a lake or ideally the sea, I try to compensate. This isn’t only a recent development. I have to admit, I’ve always been fond of big bodies of water. My aunt used to call me nicknames, referring to my love of swimming and just being in the water. I just loved sticking my head under water for hours, watching fish swim by or trying to find jellyfish and making a game out of bolting out of the water to not get touched or alternatively seeing who could get closer to the jellyfish my brother or me. In 2017 a friend approached me and asked, if I was interested in getting certified as a diver. I was. So said and done. But before my first dive, I was not sure what to expect. I thought, that it might be just a bit of fun, as fish were surely afraid of divers. But boy, was I wrong. To find out in what ways I was wrong, stay tuned for my next post☺ 📸 @hannesbrands #Thailand #diving #quote #instatravel #nikonphotography #ocean #scubadiving #vitaminsea #fitfam #kolanta #sealover
