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!

Panchita
Tuesday, January 30
The best Peruvian food you can get is of course when you are invited to a Peruvian family's home and get to enjoy some home cooked meal. Since this is not so easy to manage for most tourists who travel to Peru, I always recommend the Panchita restaurant in Lima's tourist district of Miraflores. This is the perfect place to make yourself familiar with Peruvian food.
Barranco
Sunday, January 28
The city of Lima is a huge city with millions of inhabitants and consists of 43 districts. The individual districts are very different in terms of architecture, infrastructure and safety. Christoph and I visited a lot of districts during our stay and regularly visited friends in the very south or north of the city. This time we decided to rent an apartment in the more touristy district of Barranco, as there are many cute cafes and restaurants here and you can walk straight to the sea.

Nowadays Peru is internationally known for its amazing food. Food is very important in Peruvian culture and Peruvians are understandably proud of the many delicious dishes and ingredients, fruit and veggies that the country has to offer.
Alanya Repostería

In the more touristy areas of Lima, there are now countless hip, modern cafes and patisseries. We had the most expensive, but also the most delicious pastries in the “Alanya” cafe.
