Hello again

1 min read

I don't know how many of you still remember me or how many of my watchers are even still active. I haven't really been on here since 2017, but I wanna change that.

I've been struggling with a lot of things mentally and lost a lot of passion for my interests, like photography. I'm trying to get back into it. I miss going out just to take photos and getting excited about a good photo, uploading it and getting all of your nice comments :) And there's still a lot of photos sitting in my folders that I think I should put out there, especially from my vacation in Italy in 2018 and my Iceland trip from last year.


We'll see how it goes but I'm excited! I think being on here again could really help my motivation to come back.

If there's anything I need to know to navigate this new deviantart design or if you know any photographers that I should definitely follow, pls feel free to tell me! ;P


I wish you all a great week Ahoy revamp

Hi guys!

I've got some exciting news! I'm gonna move very soon and start college! I will study information technology and design in a city i've always loved and that is really close to home too, so I'm really happy about that. It's also slightly terrifying because I don't know if I can look after myself or if I can handle all the stress in college (school did leave me with some traumas that i was busy with overcoming this year)

As nervous as I am, since my trip to Iceland last year I haven't really done...anything so I do look forward to have something to do again. I'm also looking forward to move away from my parents and have my own flat and room and be my own boss.I am a dummy! 

I can't say how much this will influence my activity here. maybe i will be more inspired to take photos again (I didn't really take a lot of photos this year sadly) or I will be even less on here, we'll see..
but believe it or not, I still have a lot of Iceland photos to show!

I hope you all have a great week Ahooooy Matey!

Hey folks!

Sorry for neglecting this place (again) but this time for a real reason. I was in Iceland for almost two months with my brother and some other friends and only returned home a few days ago! :) 
I could talk so much about my travels but that would take a lot of time so i'm just saying in short that it was the most beautiful, exciting, refreshing and funniest trip i've ever had and I certainly plan to return to Iceland one day. 

I spent my first days on Vestmannaeyjar where we were volunteering at a bird conservation group, so basically we were ringing birds like puffins and weighing them and measuring them.
Then we hiked the Laugavegur route between Skógar and Landmannalaugar for 5 days which was absolutely breathtaking but was also really exhausting (and I might have ruined my knees forever). We were always camping, by the way, which was cool.
After the hike, the weather got really bad for a week so we stayed in Reykjavík in someone's house.
The weather got a bit better after a while so we rented a car and travelled all around Iceland for two more weeks I think. Then we got on a farm near Egilsstadir. We worked there for three weeks, mostly harvesting potatoes. We had fantastic weather most of the time and all the people were super nice and interesting. :) I was really sad when we left Iceland with the ferry to Denmark. Driving with the ferry took three days with a short stay on the Faroe Islands which were also really pretty.
So yeah like I said I could tell you sooo much more but yeah that's basically how my last two months looked like. And now I have tons of photos to look through and edit so it will probably take a while until you've seen all pictures but there are definitely new pictures coming soon now (finally).

I hope you have a nice day!
Cheers :ahoy:

Hey guys!
First of all, I haven't really been on deviantart recently. I don't know exactly how that happened. I've been in a lot of stress lately because of my final school exams which i finished last week and now i only have two more in June. I also haven't really been content with my photos of late, I feel like a new camera could do something good about that.

So what's new except that i'm soon finished with school and that i start to freak out about what i'm going to do after that?
  • On Eastern I've been to HobbitCon in Bonn which was the most fun i've ever had. Best weekend ever and I hope to go to the next HobbitCon as well :)
  • Me and my brother are also planning a trip to Iceland right now, with about four weeks exploring the country and possible a few more weeks working at a farm. fingers crossed it will happen :aww:
  • i also got twitter though i'm mostly obsessing about tv shows over there tbh
anyway i hope you're all doing great and i hope i upload more pictures again in the future.
Cheers! :ahoy:
