    Phoebe Escott-Kenny

    Hey friends! My name is Phoebe and I’m a 30 year old Australian and Irish citizen who moved to Frankfurt, Germany back in 2011. Since then, I’ve learned German and Spanish and I’ve travelled to 38 countries. I’m a lover of travel writing, storytelling, photography, culture and languages.

    • *Getting Real* Here I am holding a bacon smoked beer in the beautiful town of #bamberg - I was here with @travelingfro and we were accompanied through town by @tobymacthomann. BUT GUESS WHAT? Alcohol is no longer a part of my life now.... I’m not sure how long this will be but it’s already been a month since I’ve had a drink and I’m going to continue this cleanse for a while. Why? Keep reading... • • Seems to me that people like to have spring cleans. And that’s what I’m doing in my life right now. I’m doing a big spring clean of my body - physically and mentally. For the physical aspect, I’ve given up alcohol and I’ve started running. I’m even going to meet some dogs soon to see if I can become a long term dog sitter for people who go on holidays. For the mental aspect of my spring clean, I’m trying to grasp the effect of too much screen and social media use. So I’ve implemented the following procedure for myself: • One photo uploaded every 3 days instead of daily • Delete IG from phone around 2 hours after posting a new photo. I will download the app again 3 days later • I downloaded “Flume” for MAC (thanks @raphael.fyi) which is a computer based IG programme. This means I’m still active on Instagram but it means I choose to go on Instagram when I’m in my work space, during “work hours”. It means I will no longer wake up or go to sleep with the app. I will not take the app to the toilet... 😅 I won’t open the app at red traffic lights. I won’t open the app while in the supermarket. Not having instant access to it on my phone makes me realise I was opening it 100 times a day. I am a person who can admit when something is a problem, and THAT IS. • • By using the computer programme instead, it just means I choose to use the platform during specified moments, and that it doesn’t follow me into my personal spaces. Do you guys think this is an interesting idea? Maybe you want to do what @leocavazzana recommended: we both have the app “Moment” which tracks your screen usage. I will still engage exactly as much as before but I have now got boundaries as to when that will be. I’m feeling good about all these changes! What is your “spring clean” #teamkaptainkenny? ❤️❤️
    • FREEDOM: let’s talk about social media addiction, shall we? Ooooh touchy subject? “I need to stay online to stay relevant.” “If I don’t engage frequently, I’ll lose followers.” “I have to post daily to stay active in people’s minds.” • • If you are running a social media brand/personality, all these things COULD be true, but do you want them to define your life? I don’t want to reflect back on my prime years as having spent 6 hours daily on Instagram. By posting daily for the last couple of years, at its peak there have been days where I’ve needed to reply to hundreds and hundreds of comments per day. But I’ve recently taken a step back and critically looked at my consumption. After a solid chat with @jeremybomford and @thehartoftravel, they’ve both confirmed a few of my thoughts. From now on I won’t be posting daily - now it’ll be once every 3 or so days I think. (Unless there is a perfectly exciting reason to post daily!!! 😀) Reason being, if you view this as a job, every other normal person gets time off, so I deserve that too. It’s no fun being “online” all the time. • • I think by reducing my usage by at least 50%, this is going to have a monumentally positive effect! I will still happily reply to all comments, messages and will still engage with everyone myself.... but I will simply have some specified days off. • • Do you have to set yourself some social media boundaries from time to time too? If so, what have you decided? Another idea I had was to set a timer for “an hour” per day. Once that timer goes off, too bad. You can resume the rest of the work tomorrow. There are so many ideas! #teamkaptainkenny • • Also, here I am sitting in the craziest fog right on the border of Germany and France 😍😍😍😍 • • • • #frankfurtblogger #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany🇩🇪 #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #hessen #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #wegelnburg
    • GERMAN FAIRYTALE ALERT 😂👍🏻 So as a little Aussie child, I grew up with English fairytales and stories. Some of them are indeed a little dark but some are rather harmless. I’ve been with my GermMAN for about 11 years now and would you believe I only just realised recently that we were read totally different stories as kids? • • I told him that I remember stories like Humpty Dumpty, the egg which sat on a wall and fell down and broke. The king’s men came to try and put him back together but they couldn’t. Sad ending. Jack and Jill, the brother and sister duo, climbed a hill and they both fell down and died. SAD ENDING. But nothing.... NOTHING prepares me for the grim German tales for “kids”. • • Once I was babysitting two German girls here in Frankfurt and they asked me to read “Der Struwwelpeter” - a horrific series of lessons to teach your three year old children. Lesson one: eat your dinner! A mother is asking her fat little son to eat his soup, but he refuses. She warns him and he still refuses. Many weeks pass and he gets skinnier and skinnier. One day you see he has died and she lays the soup on his grave, as a final act of retribution to say “you little b****, I told you to eat your soup.” • • Another lesson: a small child is sucking his thumb. His mother warns him not to do it, but he persists. One day while sleeping, a giant man with huge scissors leaps into his room while he sleeps and cuts off his thumb with blood going everywhere. Awesome! See kids? Don’t do what your parents tell you and really morbid things will happen. • • Which creepy and eerie stories were you told as a kid? Are there any really dark and twisted stories which come from your family? Can’t wait to have a bit of a laugh 😀 #teamkaptainkenny • • On the topic of fairytales, do you know that Marburg is the birth town of the brothers Grimm? • • • #germany🇩🇪 #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #thisismarburg #hartoftravel #marburganderlahn #marburg #marburgcity
    • I love nature - but the funny thing is I didn’t realise I loved it until I had lived in Germany for a few years. Even though I’m originally from a VERY touristy and popular part of Australia, I don’t think I ever really appreciated the beauty in my own backyard. Now, of course, when I go back home for 6-8 weeks, I see it. And one of my biggest dreams is to take 6 months off and go and explore every little bit of Australia that I’m super interested in. Until then, there’s the whole world to discover. Like here at #yosemitenationalpark - this was a very beautiful part of the park. Can you see #halfdome in the background? • • My question today is: do you believe your hometown/ home region has beauty? Have you always known it? Or did it take something special for you to discover it? I honestly think part of getting older means that you are more aware of your roots: like who you are and where you come from. Which is funny given that our teenage years represent a big search for these answers. That’s why I think being a teenager is still relatively easy - it’s being an inquisitive and persevering adult that takes hard work. They say early 20s are hard but I think the adjustment phase from leaving your 20s as you go into your 30s could even be harder. Just because we become more introverted and become super introspective, which can be tough. What are your thoughts? • • I will jokingly add that when I was a teenager, I used to think of turning 30 as “super old” and that I’d have my shit together 😂👍🏻 Hilarious. My youngest brother is 12 years younger than me and we used to laugh about the day that he turned 18 because it would mean I was THIRTY. Like that was such a DIRTY word. Lol! Now my dirty 30 is around the corner (this June) - gosh time absolutely flies. #teamkaptainkenny • • • • • #usatravel #visitcalifornia #usanationalparks #visitusa #californiatourism #usatrip #usanature #intrepidtravel #travelblogger #liveintrepid #usaroadtrip #geckosadventures #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #femmetravel #wearetravelgirls #girlsborntotravel #globelletravels #darlingescapes #womenwhoexplore #yosemite #yosemitevalley
    • This photo represents REBIRTH. Why? Well I’d been in a bit of a winter slump and now, for the last two weeks, Frankfurt has had EXCEPTIONAL weather. Sunshine, new flower blossoms, beautiful new leaves back on the trees, people in parks etc - you name is, life is back on. When I look at this photo taken last month, when everything was spooky and frozen, I can’t believe what a difference twenty degrees can make. What about you? How are you feeling? • • About two weeks ago I put the question out there and asked people for some exercise inspiration - an amazing girl @achangeofplace suggested I download the app “5K runner” which basically prepares you for a full 5K run by working up your fitness level in interval training. I wasn’t in shape before and I’m probably still not, but now I can do a 4KM mix of walking and running. Woop! Small steps. (Pardon the pun.) • • The Croatia retreat is coming up shortly!! Cannot wait to see what content the participants from #teamkaptainkenny come up with. I will be replying to every single one of you who applied and who couldn’t get a spot this time. It really hurts me that I can’t invite everyone but I hope there’ll be a next time! ❤️ • • Speaking of our wonderful team, yesterday I started a new Team Kaptain Kenny FB page so if you’re keen to jump on board, click the link in my bio. I think so far we have nearly 250 members in just 24 hours! 👍🏻😀 • • And finally, if you got this far, first of all thanks - second of all, I’ve just posted a little 15 second ad in my stories for Cebu Pacific Air so if you wanna do me a big favour, go check it out 👋🏻❤️😀 • • • • #germany🇩🇪 #saxony #eastgermany #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #saxon #saxonia #basteibrücke #basteibridge #hartoftravel #ichoosetowander
    • As we approach 20 THOUSAND images uploaded to #teamkaptainkenny, there has now become an apparent need to set up a FB group as it’s becoming a very social hashtag. Thanks @oggctopus for the FB page idea and of course @misswanderingbelle for coming up with the name of this hashtag altogether! If you are a happy user of my hashtag and want to join the new Facebook page, I’ll have the link in my bio for the next few days. • • This photo was taken by @camillacullumtravels who was passing through Frankfurt on her way back to Denmark. I met up with here and have shown her around for the last couple of days. I’ve met SO many other people through my own hashtag too. And now it seems it’s starting to happen all around the world. • • @courtneygaye_travels, @tipsy.travelers, @whatkristacaptures and @thesewilddreams just had a girls’ weekend in Brisbane, and @hayleyonholiday just met with @fiveoclockinthemorning and @thewanderlustlife too. Then @telleroftravels met @lavieenmarine recently too! This is all because of one hashtag.... I’m pretty sure there are more stories out there, so tell them to me! • • Also shoutout to @thehartoftravel who I also met while he was in Frankfurt: he came up with some good egg puns for my jumper: 1) You guys can count on me to bring the sunny side up! 2) Wanna join my FB group? Eggcellent.... Omelet you do that! 3) Join my community cause I’m so appoachable ☀️🍳🍳🍳 • • #frankfurtgermany #ffm #frankfurtdubistsowunderbar #frankfurtmeineliebe #ffmblogger #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany🇩🇪 #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #frankfurtliebe #frankfurtammain #frankfurtcity #hessen #travelbloggerlife #frankfurtmeinestadt #deutschlandreise #frankfurtblogger #stadtfrankfurt #germanblogger #europe_ig #frankfurt_de #mainhattan #mainhatten #cherryblossomfestival
    • Want to feel incredibly insignificant? Go here. To this exact spot. Just be careful the wind doesn’t blow you off those cliffs. To accompany this amazing shot, I have uploaded a 37 second video clip to my stories to show you exactly what it felt like to sit here - looking at this natural optical illusion. A lake above an ocean. The Faroe Islands is a ridiculously scenic place and THIS is precisely my favourite travel moment ever. • • As most of you from #teamkaptainkenny know, I drove 1500 KMs, from Frankfurt all the way through Denmark. Then we drove up to the top of Denmark and got the ferry across to the Faroe Islands. 45 hours later and this Aussie girl’s eyeballs almost exploded. I’ve never seen ANYTHING like it - it was so so so foreign and wonderful! We stayed a total of 8 days at the very beginning of June. • • It’s quite funny really, although this is the best piece of scenery I’ve ever seen with my own eyeballs, this photo has never previously made it to my Instagram and it’s almost a year since I was there. I have just never found the right moment to introduce this photo, with its enormity and grandeur. • • Let’s just momentarily forget that the geo tag label here looks like “sore vag” 😱😅 • • You’ll notice in this series of photos that we went to the same spot twice, and we got to experience that spot in extremely different weather. Have a look at the difference. One photo was directly after rain so it was all green and lush. The next time we went, it had been sunny for a few days so the grass was crunchier and more yellow. Which do you prefer? (Also my infamous husband appears in photo 3 - which, in case you haven’t noticed is our replication of the German flag 😂) • • #faroeste #faroe #faroeislands #faroeisland #visitfaroeislands #vagar #sørvágsvatn #sørvågen #sorvagsvatn #girldiscoverers #girlswhowander #citizenfemme #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #traveltagged #girlaroundtheworld #speechlessplaces #gltlove #girlsabroad #themomentbehind #hartoftravel
    • #Marburg is like a gingerbread town. It’s a university town which means it’s teeming with young people but there are a couple of little winding streets in the old town (pictured) which are empty, and just MADE for exploring. I would recommend anyone visiting the area & who loves these kinds of homes, to visit Marburg! Special cred if you can pronounce “Fachwerkhäuser” (the name of these kinds of houses in German.) Also extra points if you can say it without having a giggle (as it sounds like a kind of rude word in English) • • Remember how yesterday I posted a pic and a story of me and my @sandqvistbags bag? Well here it is again. As you can see I’m always travelling with this little Swedish bad-boy ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️ • • Another shoutout to my Swede @earthwanderess for taking this photo of me! #teamkaptainkenny • • • • #germany🇩🇪 #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #themomentbehind #hartoftravel #marburganderlahn
    • Seriously cool brand + photo location alert!! Read up!! • • I am very excited to announce that I have partnered up with a FREAKIN AWESOME Swedish backpack company called @sandqvistbags. Have you heard of them? Their story is pretty rad. First of all, the founder goes by the name of Anton Sandqvist - back in 2004 he was getting pretty sick and tired of carrying his laptop in an ugly bag, and he couldn’t find anything which was cool and under 600 euros. As he is one of the few guys who has actually studied sewing, he decided to make his own. Enter: compliments. People fell in love and @sandqvistbags was born! It even gets the @earthwanderess seal of approval. She’s a fellow Swede but also an environment lover and we’re both really excited that this brand makes sustainable products using organic cotton sourced directly from farmers, recycled fibres from post-consumer waste in all their synthetic materials AND they even have Sandqvist repair shops to extend the life of their products. Cooooool! So I was obviously super pumped when they said JAAA to a collab with me. Here I am pictured wearing the “Nico” which is fully waterproof, like most things I own. #sandqvist #sandqvistbags #ad • • Okay let’s talk about this insanely beautiful location! This is a huge valley made out of strange boulder formations in the far east of Germany. It’s called #sächsicheschweiz and that beautiful China-esque bridge behind me is called the #bastei bridge. This is (besides the mountains of Bavaria), Germany’s single most stunning piece of scenery! And it’s a decent hiking area too. We did a 3 hour hike for this shot. #teamkaptainkenny • • #germany🇩🇪 #saxony #eastgermany #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #saxon #saxonia #basteibrücke #basteibridge #themomentbehind #hartoftravel

It really hurts me that I can’t invite everyone but I hope there’ll be a next time! ❤️ • • Speaking of our wonderful team, yesterday I started a new Team Kaptain Kenny FB page so if you’re keen to jump on board, click the link in my bio. I think so far we have nearly 250 members in just 24 hours! 👍🏻😀 • • And finally, if you got this far, first of all thanks - second of all, I’ve just posted a little 15 second ad in my stories for Cebu Pacific Air so if you wanna do me a big favour, go check it out 👋🏻❤️😀 • • • • #germany🇩🇪 #saxony #eastgermany #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #saxon #saxonia #basteibrücke #basteibridge #hartoftravel #ichoosetowander
    • As we approach 20 THOUSAND images uploaded to #teamkaptainkenny, there has now become an apparent need to set up a FB group as it’s becoming a very social hashtag. Thanks @oggctopus for the FB page idea and of course @misswanderingbelle for coming up with the name of this hashtag altogether! If you are a happy user of my hashtag and want to join the new Facebook page, I’ll have the link in my bio for the next few days. • • This photo was taken by @camillacullumtravels who was passing through Frankfurt on her way back to Denmark. I met up with here and have shown her around for the last couple of days. I’ve met SO many other people through my own hashtag too. And now it seems it’s starting to happen all around the world. • • @courtneygaye_travels, @tipsy.travelers, @whatkristacaptures and @thesewilddreams just had a girls’ weekend in Brisbane, and @hayleyonholiday just met with @fiveoclockinthemorning and @thewanderlustlife too. Then @telleroftravels met @lavieenmarine recently too! This is all because of one hashtag.... I’m pretty sure there are more stories out there, so tell them to me! • • Also shoutout to @thehartoftravel who I also met while he was in Frankfurt: he came up with some good egg puns for my jumper: 1) You guys can count on me to bring the sunny side up! 2) Wanna join my FB group? Eggcellent.... Omelet you do that! 3) Join my community cause I’m so appoachable ☀️🍳🍳🍳 • • #frankfurtgermany #ffm #frankfurtdubistsowunderbar #frankfurtmeineliebe #ffmblogger #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany🇩🇪 #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #frankfurtliebe #frankfurtammain #frankfurtcity #hessen #travelbloggerlife #frankfurtmeinestadt #deutschlandreise #frankfurtblogger #stadtfrankfurt #germanblogger #europe_ig #frankfurt_de #mainhattan #mainhatten #cherryblossomfestival
    • Want to feel incredibly insignificant? Go here. To this exact spot. Just be careful the wind doesn’t blow you off those cliffs. To accompany this amazing shot, I have uploaded a 37 second video clip to my stories to show you exactly what it felt like to sit here - looking at this natural optical illusion. A lake above an ocean. The Faroe Islands is a ridiculously scenic place and THIS is precisely my favourite travel moment ever. • • As most of you from #teamkaptainkenny know, I drove 1500 KMs, from Frankfurt all the way through Denmark. Then we drove up to the top of Denmark and got the ferry across to the Faroe Islands. 45 hours later and this Aussie girl’s eyeballs almost exploded. I’ve never seen ANYTHING like it - it was so so so foreign and wonderful! We stayed a total of 8 days at the very beginning of June. • • It’s quite funny really, although this is the best piece of scenery I’ve ever seen with my own eyeballs, this photo has never previously made it to my Instagram and it’s almost a year since I was there. I have just never found the right moment to introduce this photo, with its enormity and grandeur. • • Let’s just momentarily forget that the geo tag label here looks like “sore vag” 😱😅 • • You’ll notice in this series of photos that we went to the same spot twice, and we got to experience that spot in extremely different weather. Have a look at the difference. One photo was directly after rain so it was all green and lush. The next time we went, it had been sunny for a few days so the grass was crunchier and more yellow. Which do you prefer? (Also my infamous husband appears in photo 3 - which, in case you haven’t noticed is our replication of the German flag 😂) • • #faroeste #faroe #faroeislands #faroeisland #visitfaroeislands #vagar #sørvágsvatn #sørvågen #sorvagsvatn #girldiscoverers #girlswhowander #citizenfemme #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #traveltagged #girlaroundtheworld #speechlessplaces #gltlove #girlsabroad #themomentbehind #hartoftravel
    • #Marburg is like a gingerbread town. It’s a university town which means it’s teeming with young people but there are a couple of little winding streets in the old town (pictured) which are empty, and just MADE for exploring. I would recommend anyone visiting the area & who loves these kinds of homes, to visit Marburg! Special cred if you can pronounce “Fachwerkhäuser” (the name of these kinds of houses in German.) Also extra points if you can say it without having a giggle (as it sounds like a kind of rude word in English) • • Remember how yesterday I posted a pic and a story of me and my @sandqvistbags bag? Well here it is again. As you can see I’m always travelling with this little Swedish bad-boy ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️ • • Another shoutout to my Swede @earthwanderess for taking this photo of me! #teamkaptainkenny • • • • #germany🇩🇪 #visitgermany #deutschland🇩🇪 #deutschland_greatshots #germanytourism #germany_insta #deutschlandpix #travelbloggerlife #deutschlandreise #germanblogger #europe_ig #themomentbehind #hartoftravel #marburganderlahn
