Abenteuer, Natur und Freiheit. Mit uns die Welt entdecken

Hey, ich bin Vanessa und stehe hinter ByTraveletters – Schön, dass du hier bist!

Vor kurzem haben wir unser nächstes großes Abenteuer begonnen: Ein Umzug nach Australien – mindestens für die nächsten zwei Jahre. Davor haben wir acht Monate in den USA verbracht und unzählige beeindruckende Orte an der Ost- und Westküste entdeckt. Diese Erlebnisse, unsere Liebe zur Natur und das Gefühl von Freiheit auf Reisen möchte ich hier auf meinem Blog mit dir teilen.

Als Travel Creator liegt es mir sehr am Herzen, dich mit meinen Texten, Fotos und Videos zu inspirieren und zu ermutigen. Ich liebe es, atemberaubende Landschaften zu erkunden, wilde Tiere in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung zu beobachten und mich tief in die Planung neuer Reisen zu stürzen.

Von der Unterkunft bis hin zu einzigartigen Orten, die nicht in jedem Reiseführer stehen – Ich liebe es, jedes Detail zu recherchieren und unvergessliche Erlebnisse zusammenzustellen. Dabei ist es mir besonders wichtig, nicht nur bekannte Bucket List Orte zu besuchen, sondern auch weniger bekannte, aber ebenso spektakuläre Plätze zu entdecken – genau diese Mischung findest du hier.

Besonders Roadtrips haben für mich eine einzigartige Magie – das Gefühl, einfach loszufahren und völlig verschiedene Orte zu entdecken.

Doch es geht uns nicht nur darum, Orte zu zeigen. Mit unseren Inhalten möchten wir die Atmosphäre und das Gefühl eines Ortes einfangen, damit du schon beim Lesen und Schauen für einen Moment dort sein kannst. Wir möchten dich mitnehmen und dich vielleicht sogar ein kleines bisschen aus dem Alltag entführen.

Neben dem Reisen ist meine zweite Leidenschaft das Zeichnen. Ich erstelle minimalistische Illustrationen rund um das Thema Reisen, um besondere Orte und Erlebnisse auf eine einzigartige Weise festzuhalten. Falls du neugierig bist, schau dort gerne vorbei. 

Wenn du dich also zufällig für Abenteuer, Natur und besondere Reiseerlebnisse begeisterst, bist du hier genau richtig. Ich teile unsere Lieblingsorte, Geheimtipps und persönliche Empfehlungen für außergewöhnliche Unterkünfte und Orte – Alles mit dem Ziel, dich zu inspirieren und dir die Planung deiner eigenen Reisen zu erleichtern.

Wenn unsere Tipps und Inspirationen dir bei deiner nächsten Reise helfen oder dich auf neue Ideen bringen, freut uns das umso mehr! 

Viel Spaß beim Stöbern – wenn du Fragen hast oder dich austauschen möchtest, melde dich sehr gerne.

Für noch mehr Eindrücke und aktuelle Reiseabenteuer schau doch gerne auf unserem Instagram – Account @bytraveletters vorbei – wir freuen uns auf dich!

Eure,

Über uns

📍 Fern Pool | Western Australia

Surrounded by lush ferns, towering red cliffs, and a small waterfall, this crystal clear oasis should be on every Bucket List! The trail takes you past breathtaking scenery, including Fortescue Falls!

Is this even Australia???!🥹 This incredible deser Is this even Australia???!🥹

This incredible desert honestly felt like stepping onto another planet! 🪐 

Thousands of ancient limestone pillars rise out of the golden sand, creating one of the most unique landscapes in Australia! 

📍 Pinnacles Desert I Nambung National Park 
🚐 Only 2 hours from Perth, Western Australia 

You can actually drive through the designated loop and stop almost anywhere to wander around and explore the formations up close. 

Watching sunset and sunrise is really magical here! But we would recommend come during SUNRISE because sunset is a lot busier! 

It’s one of the first iconic stops along the Indian Ocean Drive! 

Would you visit this place?? 💛

Welcome to 

📍Kondalilla National Park | Queensland 
🚐 Only 1,5 hours from Brisbane 

📌 Before we jump in make sure to SAVE this later! 

Queensland’s National Parks definitely have a Costa Rica vibe with their lush rainforests, swimming holes and dramatic waterfalls 🦎🌿 and this is definitely a hike you should try! 

🥾 Medium hike (4.7km loop) with rainforest trails, stunning views and a beautiful rock pool at the waterfall - perfect to cool off during hot days! 

We highly recommend coming early in the morning or visiting during the off-season! As it can get quite busy! 

Would you try this one or have you already been there?

Welcome to

📍Karijini National Park 

Home of the most beautiful and unreal swim spots in Australia! 😍

Here are 5 you should not miss: 

🏜️ Knox Gorge - the most underrated. Don’t come too early. When the sun finally drops in, the whole canyon glows red and turquoise!

🐸 Hancock Gorge - the most adventurous. It leads to Kermit Pool, which honestly looks unreal. Start really early to beat the crowds.

💦 Fortescue Falls - the most relaxed. It looks totally unreal in the sun. The chillest spot on the list.

🩵 Hamersley Gorge - the most unique and famous. Leads to Spa Pool. The 55km dirt road is 100% worth it. Start really early to beat the crowds!

🧚🏻 Fern Pool - the most magical. Start early, but stay longer for the water reflections. 

Which one would you swim in first?
