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

Honest review of our first 48 hours in a camper: I Honest review of our first 48 hours in a camper: It’s way more chaotic than it looks on Instagram 🤡

Van Life for Beginner - Day 1 🚐 🇦🇺
We’re so excited to start this series and take you along on our road trip through Western Australia! 

If you new here: We moved from Germany to Australia and decided to do something very Australian: Our first ever camper trip! 

We were driving 4,000km from Perth to Broome in just 3,5 weeks. We’ve never camped in a van before, and the first 48 hours were a total rollercoaster of excitement and mistakes! 

2 things we learned already: 
1. Van Organisation: You need to create a system in the van where everything has its own place. Otherwise, the van looks completely chaotic within just a few minutes. You’re constantly cleaning up and organizing things 🧹 

2. Storage management: Pack everything in soft bags, not suitcases. A suitcase in a van is like an elephant in a china shop - it’s always in the way! 🎒🚫

🚐 Is Western Australia on your bucket list?

📍Spa Pool | Karijini National Park 
📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE for your next trip to western Australia! 

We’ll be honest - we always thought this spa pool was going to be overrated. But after finally experiencing it, it was easily one of our absolute highlights in the National Park! 

Sometimes the most „famous“ spots are popular for a reason, but the key is knowing how to experience them the right way.

Tip for your visit: Arrive BEFORE 8:00 AM to avoid the midday crowds. We had the pool almost an hour for ourselves. Don’t let the „touristy“ label stop you from seeing something this beautiful. 

It’s a 11/10 experience you can’t skip! 

🚐 To get here, you have to drive to Hamersley Gorge - it‘s 55km through a rough dirt road, but it’s managable with a 2WD if you drive slow! 

When you reach the gorge you have to swim through another pool to reach the spa pool entrance, so you have to leave everything at the main pool!

The ultimate green flag💚: He doesn’t just hold t The ultimate green flag💚: 

He doesn’t just hold the door - he checks for snakes and spiders first. 🐍🕷️💍

In Germany, people worry if the bathroom towel is clean. In Australia, people worry if there is a spider or snake in the toilet! 

You are on a road trip in Australia, and you learn very fast - don’t sit down until he says, “It’s safe!” 

Safety first, romance second… or maybe THIS is Australian romance 😂🫢

What’s your ultimate Green Flag?

Which of these is at the top of your Bucket list? 🗺️ 

Australia has so much more to offer than just kangaroos and koalas! 🦘 Over the past four weeks on the road, we’ve seen an incredible variety of wildlife - from colorful parrots to true giants of the ocean.

It’s an adrenaline rush every time you spot wildlife in its natural habitat. 

But our biggest highlight was to swim with the majestic whale shark - one of Australia’s legendary “Big 3”!✨

This is definitely a bucket list experience everyone should do once in their lives!

Welcome to… our favourite hike in Grampians Natio Welcome to…

our favourite hike in Grampians National Park 😍 

📍 Pinnacle Hike | Victoria, Australia

📌 Before we dive in, make sure to SAVE for later! 

This is a 2,5 hour return hike (4,2km total) 
Park your car at Wonderland Car Park and start the trail from there.

🥾 Medium to challenging

We started right after sunrise to avoid the crowds and get the best light – and it was the best decision. We had the trail and the lookout almost to ourselves!

Tip: Travel in the off-season.
We were there in September and can definitely recommend it!
