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

Mit unserem kleinen Reisetagebuch hoffen wir dich begeistern und anstecken zu können. Wenn du neugierig auf mehr bist, dann schau gerne auch auf unserem Instagram Account vorbei.

Wir freuen uns auf dich!

I still can’t believe how unreal the roads in Aust I still can’t believe how unreal the roads in Australia are 🤯🥹 

(Follow @yourscenicmiles for more outdoor travel in Australia) 

More often than not we take the scenic route instead of the direct route just so we can drive on some of the most beautiful roads in this country! 

📌 Here are 4 roads in Australia you cannot miss
📍 Port Gregory Rd 
📍 Shark Bay Rd 
📍 Karijini Drive 
📍 Ajana Kalbarri Rd 

Which road would you drive on first? 👇🏼

📍 Spa Pool | Karijini National Park

Hamersley Gorge was our absolute highlight! 🥹Definitely worth the hype -  the water glows this unreal, vibrant blue and feels like the perfect reward after the hike.

This spa pool in Western Australia is a dream escape and the ultimate cool-down spot after exploring the gorges.

📌 Is this natural pool in Western Australia on your bucket list? 😊

🛑 You NEED to read this before you go! Honestly? I 🛑 You NEED to read this before you go!
Honestly? I was seconds away from just sitting down in the dirt and don’t hike further! After the last km on this trail, my legs were completely done! 

So we completely underestimated this hike 🙈 

The natural infinity pools on the top of this waterfall are dreamy (bring swim clothes) but the end of the trail is way harder than most people expect. 

📍 Fortress Creek Falls Trail | Blue Mountains 

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE this for your own adventure so you don’t get lost! Believe us you’ll NEED these tips! 

What you need to know:
• It’s longer than AllTrails says (we tracked ~9.8 km Return) 
• It’s ranked Grade 5 in Australia
• Very rocky, uneven & technical
• The last kilometer is the hardest (steep downhill, no official trail, technical) 

The view and pools are unreal 🥹
But please don’t take this hike too easy - especially if you’re not used to steep, technical trails! 

Would you do a Grade 5 hike to reach this spot?

Instagram Vanlife is a lie 🚐💀 Reality check: if y Instagram Vanlife is a lie 🚐💀

Reality check: if you think it’s all aesthetic sunsets and slow mornings, you’ve only seen one side of the story. In truth, it‘s 24/7 busy unpacking, cleaning, and dodging head-bumps in this tiny space. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and it’s definitely not always „Instagrammable“ - but it’s a real adventure! 

📩 SEND this to someone who needs a reality check before booking their first camper trip! 

Which „reality show“ moment can you relate to the most?

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE for your own galaxy shots! 

There’s nothing quite like the silence of Karijini National Park (Western Australia) at night. We started astrophotography a few years ago, and I promise it’s easier than it looks. 

4 Tips for Epic Galaxy Shots:
1. Timing is Everything: Aim for New Moon 🌑 (or the days surrounding it) for the darkest possible skies.
2. Light Discipline: Use a headlamp with a red light setting! 
3. Location: Karijini NP is a dark-sky paradise due to zero light pollution. Our favorite spot? Buddhas Overnighter (Free Campsite)! It’s the perfect base for night shooters.
4. Pro Camera Settings: 
 * Tripod (essential!)
 * Wide aperture 
 * High ISO
 * 15-30 second exposure
 * Manual focus to infinity 

Would you wake up at 3 AM for this? 🌌😴
