my travel tales, your city, our STA info evening



as you know, a year ago i launched an online magazine called travelettes.net from and for girls who are interested in traveling. naturally, i have done my fair bit of traveling, including a 1-year trip around the world, trips to india, marocco, the united states, brazil, argentina, bali, australia,. and many other wonderful countries.

my favorite travel agency in the world STA TRAVEL (who specialize in youth and student travel) have invited me to be a referee at some of their info evenings in 4 cities in Germany where I will show some of my photos of Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia and tell a few stories from my time spent there.

If you care to attend those evenings you just need to call the STA office in the following cities and ask if there is still space available.

27.09. Bochum - STA Travel Shop Universitätsstraße 150
28.09. Köln - Uni-Hauptgebäude Hörsaal V, Albertus-Magnus-Platz
29.09. Aachen - STA Travel Shop, Markt 22
30.09. Bonn - STA Travel Shop, Kaiserstraße 22

Below are just 3 of the images i'm going to tell stories to, so if you've been thinking about traveling to Thailand, or South East Asia in general but have some questions, please tag along.

berlin: my window at galeries lafayette



today i got to decorate a shop window at berlin's galeries lafayette and in 5 hours i mounted all those framed photos and dressed the curator of my gallery scene who is cleaning the window. why is she cleaning? that will remain the secret of the artist ...

the photos displayed are from people i shot in berlin, london, paris and new york.
the window will be up for 2 weeks from today.

berlin: la mode c'est vous



this girl has got style, obviously. if you too have style and live in berlin, i suggest you sign up to be a part of du bist die mode, an event organised by the galeries lafayette in which 200 stylish berliners of all sorts and ages can take part. you'll be styled by celebrity hair stylist udo walz and his team, there will be goody bags and lots of people who will have come to be inspired by you.
a street fashion show, so to speak.

and the best part: while the french counterpart of galeries lafayette in paris will hold the same event on the same day the whole thing will go into the guiness book of world records as the largest fashion show of all time!
imagine if you could be one of those lucky 200? so hurry to the online casting and sign up, or just vote for your favorite looks.
