Hi, my name is Svenja, and I’m soaking up the world one snapshot and sip at the time.

I’m a travel enthusiast and love to discover the world.

By day, I work a desk job, but my heart truly belongs to exploring new cities, capturing beautiful moments, and journaling about my experiences.
Snapshots & Sips is my creative canvas, a space where I can share my love for travel, food, photography and cozy cafés with the world.

Snapshots & Sips is an invitation to see the world through my perspective.

Here, I celebrate the magic of pausing amidst my adventures to truly reflect the essence of a place – whether it’s the play of light on architecture, the bustle of busy city streets, nature landscapes, or a cup of a perfectly crafted espresso in a café.

I hope to inspire you to explore new places, discover (hidden) gems and savor every moment along the way.

On every trip I’m looking for wonderful places where you can eat well and sip your favorite drink. From cozy café finds, to the best brunch in town, to good wine bars and great restaurants.

Join me as I travel the world,
camera in one hand and a local brew in the other, sharing my snapshots and culinary discoveries.

It’s not just about the faraway.

As much as I love jetting off, I also want to appreciate what is right in front of me. There’s something particularly beautiful about exploring the familiar. I like to uncover the gems that lie beyond my doorstep just as much as the destinations abroad. That’s why you’ll also find German city guides on this blog.

From small villages to bustling metropolises like Berlin, Germany offers diverse architecture, culture and landscapes. I find myself constantly amazed by the things that my home has to offer, proving that you don’t need to travel far to find beauty and inspiration. I think that wanderlust can be satisfied even in the most familiar of places when we take the time to discover and enjoy.
