Hey there! I'm a former German-English translator, now making the transition into the travel industry as a travel photographer and mompreneur. I'll soon be hosting photography-focused small group trips. Talk to me about anything - improving your travel photography, digital nomading (did it for a year), translation/languages, traveling with kids (I have a baby boy), or whatever else is on your mind.
