Illustrated Travel Journal
As a freelance illustrator, I can usually work on my clients’ projects from anywhere. Most days I work from my office in Hamburg, but occasionally I travel and work from other cities and countries.
Together with my partner Christoph I’ve been working remotely from different cities in Europe for the past months. I regularly document my impressions of the cities we live in in my sketchbook. If you’re interested in sketchbook illustrations, short travel reports and recommendations, you’ve come to the right place!

We booked the second tour we did in Huaraz with the same tour operator we had done our first hike with. We were very happy with their professionalism and how our first hike with their guide went so we booked another day tour to a different destination.

In order to hike in the National Park of the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes, we first had to get used to the altitude of the Andes, so we spent a few weeks in the city of Huaraz. During the week, we worked from home, and on the weekends, we explored the city or went on hikes in the surrounding area.

After having spent a whole week in Huaraz, during which we slowly got used to the altitude, we set off on our first day trip/hike this weekend.

We left Lima in the evening and took a night bus to the next city on our trip: Huaraz. Although the city of Huaraz is only about 300 km (as the crow flies) from Lima, the bus journey takes eight to ten hours, as Huaraz is located in the Andes at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
