Illustrated Travel Journal
Since, as an illustrator, I can execute my customers’ projects regardless of location, I have been working from abroad from time to time since March 2023.
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!

Arco de Santa Catalina
Friday, December 15
The most famous place in Antigua, Guatemala is the bright yellow arch in the center of the city. The arch is officially called “Arco de Santa Catalina” and was built in the 17th century.
Dobladas
Thursday, December 14
Although Guatemala shares a border with Mexico, the street food culture in Guatemala is not as strong as in Mexico. Unlike in Mexico, there are almost no street food stands here. But we did find one stand: This stand sold typical Guatemalan "Dobladas".
Chicken Bus
Wednesday, December 13
No matter where you are in Guatemala, both in the big cities and in the small villages near Lake Átitlan, you can see huge, brightly painted buses driving through the streets. These buses are affectionately called "chicken buses" and are used as public transport.
Rincón Antigüeño
Tuesday, December 12
In the city center of Antigua there are many restaurants serving a variety of international cuisines, such as Arabic food, Vietnamese Pho, classic French cuisine and there are also some US-American fast food chains. Because Christoph and I were in Guatemala for the first time ever of course we wanted to try the local Guatemalan cuisine first.
