🌄🚌 This picture was taken in Huertahuayco, during my bus ride from Ica (Atacama Desert) to Cusco (Andes). The election posters were for the regional and local elections in 2018.

When I started using Instagram, I just came back from my best trip ever. I spontaneously traveled alone through Peru for 16 days and took a few thousand photos.😄🇵🇪❤️

👀 Until then, I had only used Instagram passively. I had a little problem because its name means "instant camera telegram" and from my point of view that's how it was primarily used. But that didn't fit my needs well... 🧃🐌

💡This is how I came up with the idea of ​​a timeless Instagram, led by a giant sloth. It's so relaxed, grounded and full of adventure.😜

🕵️ The posts have been spread across the years and - unfortunately - Instagram deactivated the guides in December, but you can still view all Peru posts on my website (link in bio) at any time. Simply click on “Topics” and then “Peru” in the menu.

There might be a few more pictures to come.
Sometime.

It was a very special time. In total I was there every weekend for 55 days. Much too little. I wish it would have been infinite.🌠 I will miss it very much!
Goodbye Bad Bodendorf! 😢❤️

In the Wolfsschlucht. A small waterfall and a cool stream. It was still summer. I actually wanted to post this three months ago because it belongs to the other posts. But my grandma died and other things. And because my girlfriend broke up with me today, I thought it would be a good time to complete it and remember this beautiful day again. Which was one of the most beautiful for me.

🌞🌿 High hops and blue sky.

Into the woods 🌳✨

We had a wonderful hike in the Brohltal in the Eifel. 🥰

One of the many beautiful sights are the trass caves.

🌋 Trass, a volcanic tuff, was already mined there by the Romans. These are the deposits of a volcanic eruption that created Lake Laach around 13,000 years ago.

🏗️🏛️ Tuff is a soft rock that is primarily used as a building material on the outside of buildings or is mixed with cement.

When it's unbearably hot, the best thing to do is go into the forest and cool off by the stream. 💦🥰🌲🌳 And it's even better if you can watch fallow deer (Dama dama) playing.😊

I'm taking the train to my girlfriend. 😎💕

About half of my four-hour journey is between Mainz and Remagen along the Middle Rhine.

🏞️🍇🏰

Misty vineyards, castles and small islands. 🥰

I particularly like the Bacharacher Werth (island) with its surrounding shallows. The train also passes the legendary Loreley, but I am already enchanted and stay on track.

My parents always encouraged me to capture animals. On the premise of releasing them exactly where I found them. I honestly can't tell if that's right or wrong.

On the one hand, children should be taught early on to respect animals and to leave them alone. I stressed the animals, frightened them and also approached potentially dangerous animals.

On the other hand, I was able to follow an instinct that is millions of years old and have developed a strong connection with nature.

If an animal was nearby, I felt a tingling sensation before I consciously perceived it with my other senses. Incidentally, Steve Irwin also reported on this feeling in an episode.

However, as an adult I would no longer harass animals unnecessarily. If I ever become a father, I have to ask myself how I want to bring up my child.

The frog sitting there on my hand is probably a Sahara frog (Pelophylax saharicus). I can say with certainty that it is a male. During the mating season, these have dark and thickened thumbs to hold on to the females.
