Completing the series (just facing the opposite direction for better light 😅 ). Picked up my actual German passport today at the one-month mark of becoming a citizen!

Fab surroundings here in Ehrwald. Thriving in below-freezing temps and excited for snowshoeing today!

I've very willingly entered into an arrangement with a nearby family whereupon I watch their puppy three mornings a week, but I'm afraid it's ruining my life because someone else's dog is now the only thing I can think about and I'm so sad when he's not with me 🙃

Picked this up this morning, feels more real now!

(It's green because it's a temporary passport - I'm flying to Hong Kong on Tuesday and need to be able to legally exit/reenter the EU. The red one will be ready when I'm back.)

And nine years nearly to the day, I'm now a German Citizen ❤️

Not to be dramatic, but my current surroundings are so nice they may have ruined my life? Zanzibar is a place.

Just sharing a few leopard beauty shots from my time in Zambia earlier this month. While I sadly didn't get to see any wild dogs, South Luangwa National Park delivered big on the leopard front!

Hundreds of sheep and goats passed through Nuremberg this morning on the way to winter grazing pastures - quite a spectacle!

Insta360 sent me this kit and I can't wait to figure out how to use it 😎

If you have one (or a similar model), how do you like it?

Are we introducing ourselves for the algorithm over here? I'm a travel writer and wildlife photographer, mostly reporting for UK and US publications on positive-impact tourism, conservation, wildlife science, sometimes food.

I'm just back from Zambia and I'm off to Zanzibar next week!
