Andrea.
Traveller. Photographer. Stubborn biker. Chronic overthinker with a camera — based in Switzerland, usually found somewhere else.
Every wrong turn is a better story.
Not the Instagram-approved bucket list. The kind of travel where you take a wrong turn, end up somewhere unplanned, and talk to someone you'll think about for years.

Red dunes, dead trees, and a silence you can actually hear.
Deadvlei: dead camel-thorn trees standing in a dry clay pan, ringed by some of the tallest dunes on Earth. Then the granite of Spitzkoppe, the waterholes of Etosha — zebras, rhinos, elephants — a jackal who was not impressed, a dolphin who was, and more stars than seems reasonable.
Deadvlei, Namib Desert — the trees died centuries ago and never bothered to fall.
often enough to appreciate it when I'm back.
A camera is an excuse to stop and look properly at things.
The discipline of the frame changes you. You start noticing light that was always there — moments that would have dissolved unwitnessed into the general noise of moving forward.

The kitchen is the most honest lab there is.
A recipe is just a hypothesis. Heat, time, acid, fat — either it works or it doesn't, and there's no debating with the result. Also: pasta. There's always pasta.

Harley Davidson.
The Alpine pass is not a suggestion.
Full throttle, engine drowning everything out until thought becomes impossible — which is, frankly, the whole point. The road doesn't care about your inbox.
I have thousands of photos. My hosting gives me 10 mb — roughly one panoramic JPEG and a dream. What you see here is the result of very painful editorial decisions and mild resentment toward my provider.
If something
here clicks —
good.
We might get along.
