    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 40 countries. I’m a lover of travel writing, storytelling, photography, culture and languages.

    • I’m currently looking for jobs in Melbourne 🔥 (Open to Bris/Syd too.) • Yes you heard correctly. I’m on the hunt. This is not an official “I’m moving” announcement as nothing else is booked or in place but I’m starting to look around and I’m actively trying to make some connections. • Do I have any friends here who work in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and can hook me up in the education/training or tourism/ travel writing industries? Those would be my two main areas of interest right now. • Instagram has been so helpful to me so far in terms of making friends around the world, securing amazing travel opportunities and helping me to start my own online community - so why not give this a red hot crack. Maybe Instagram can be the reason I land my dream job in Australia 😛👌🏻 • Here’s a beautiful, simplistic photo of the Canadian Rockies - I don’t know where this is exactly so I’ll just tag #banffnationalpark as I’m pretty sure it was there. • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkcanada #tkknorthamerica #kaptainkennycollabcamp • #parkscanada #ExploreCanada #imagesofcanada #canadaswonderland #igerscanada #ohcanada #canadaday #ig_canada #oh_canada #igcanada #snapshot_canada #tourcanada #enjoycanada #canadianrockies • #albertacanada #travelalberta #visitalberta #visitcanada #mybanff #therockies
    • I didn’t get the ____ opportunity I applied for! • Don’t you hate that? When you find a programme, a course, a job or an opportunity that you felt you were perfect for - only to be told you haven’t been selected? It sucks - but it’s life. You only have one choice. Let it defeat you or get back on the horse. • I remember last year @nytimestravel @nytimes was doing a competition to find a new travel writer and photographer. I applied and out of nearly 10 000 entries, I made it to the final 100. But I didn’t get further. Sure, I was disappointed but I kept going. Head up high and onto the next thing. • It was also a reminder that maybe my skills weren’t as good as they could’ve been and I made sure that I’ve improved myself even more since then. • So yes it’s disappointing when people say no to me - and I’m learning to find it easier to say “no” to others. Not everyone is going to be suitable for everything they want and that’s okay. • Sometimes a negative response teaches you more about what you don’t know rather than what you do know. And sometimes finding out why you aren’t perfect is even more valuable than being told you are 😀 • Do you think rejection and defeat hurts? Or is it a second chance to reassess? And find something bigger/ better? • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkiceland #tkkeurope #westiceland #visitwesticeland #kaptainkennycollabcamp • #visiticeland #guardiantravelsnaps #ourlonelyplanet #naturegood #earthfever #earthlandscape #icelandtravel #inspiredbyiceland #everydayiceland #earthlandscape #icelandair #igersiceland #absoluteiceland #topicelandphoto #wonderlusticeland #guidetoiceland #roamnation #icelandsouthcoast #visiticeland🇮🇸 #iceland🇮🇸
    • Any new followers here? • If so, thanks for being interested in my account! Let me tell you some stuff about me. I absolutely live for the outdoors. I seem to have really discovered what it means to love nature and being active in the last couple of years especially and since then, I’m constantly on the hunt for nature & outdoor holidays! • The last three years of my life have been very focused around travel. I started my travel blog back at the end of 2015 and I haven’t looked back since! By the end of this year I will have been to: Germany, France, Lithuania, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, England, Spain, Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Iceland, Canada, Faroe Islands and the Maldives. • But I still work! I usually work around 7-8 months of the year in total and try to be on the go for the remaining time. I can do this because I own both my businesses and I try to schedule my trips around my clients breaks and public holidays / school holidays in Germany. • And finally I love to connect with new people and make friends - so if you’re a new face around here, please do say hi! I won’t bite. • Here I am enjoying the serenity at #lakeminnewanka whose name I definitely had a giggle at. #ohcanada • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkcanada #tkknorthamerica #kaptainkennycollabcamp • #parkscanada #ExploreCanada #imagesofcanada #canadaswonderland #igerscanada #canadaday #ig_canada #oh_canada #igcanada #snapshot_canada #tourcanada #enjoycanada #canadianrockies #banff • #albertacanada #travelalberta #visitalberta #visitcanada #banffnationalpark #mybanff
    • Are you claustrophobic? If so, wonder how you’d fare here - walking in snow boots and crampons, 33metres down into Iceland’s second largest glacier! {WERBUNG} • Had a really fun experience and of course put this activity in my “West Iceland” blog post. (Link in bio.) • But seriously, let’s talk about phobias or fears. I am not claustrophobic but have never and absolutely would never go bungee jumping nor would I jump out of a plane. However I know A LOT of you here would. I think you’re crazy daredevils for that but I’m also SO envious of that kind of adrenaline-seeking! I wish I could be the sort of exciting person who could do those things - but hey I’m a scaredy cat 😛 (I’m afraid of putting myself in unnecessary danger.) • Any stories out there about totally overcoming your fears while travelling? Would love to hear some of your interesting tales 🧐 • #westiceland @westiceland #intotheglacier @intotheglacier #teamkaptainkenny #tkkiceland #tkkeurope #visiticeland #langjokull • #visiticeland #visualsofearth #guardiantravelsnaps #timeoutsociety #Travellingthroughtheworld #ourlonelyplanet #naturegood #earthfever #earthlandscape #livingonearth #icelandtravel #inspiredbyiceland #everydayiceland #icelandair #igersiceland #absoluteiceland #topicelandphoto #wonderlusticeland #guidetoiceland #roamnation #langjökull #mystopover #mystopovericeland
    • When you’re standing underneath a waterfall in Iceland - yep pretty cool feeling! 😊👌🏻 • Well today has been another productive day! Not only did I get two new articles published last week but today I finally got round to sending some images of what I’m wearing to @stutterheim and @sandqvistbags AND I got my next newsletter sent out. It’s been months and months since my last one but somehow I’ve woken up today with more Kaptain Kenny energy! {Werbung} • Please don’t go away energy - I need you for the winter 🤭 Anyone else worried about what weather is upon us? (This question doesn’t apply to you lucky people in the Southern Hemisphere!) • Also the call out for @teamkaptainkenny writers is going well - I’ve already got many people sending me pitches and ideas so I’m sure you’ll see a contribution online soon ❤️ #teamkaptainkenny #tkkiceland #tkkeurope • #stutterheim #stutterheimraincoats #sandqvist #sandqvistbags #mystopover #mystopovericeland • #kaptainkennycollabcamp #visiticeland #guardiantravelsnaps #ourlonelyplanet #earthlandscape #icelandtravel #inspiredbyiceland #everydayiceland #earthlandscape #icelandair #igersiceland #absoluteiceland #topicelandphoto #wonderlusticeland #guidetoiceland #icelandsouthcoast #visiticeland🇮🇸 #iceland🇮🇸
    • Wild & mysterious #canada🍁 • There’s one thing I seriously dislike about Insta - that portrait photos are cropped at 4:5 - so although this is a beautiful photo, there’s still quite a bit of sparkling turquoise water at the bottom that got lost 😥 • I could’ve chosen to crop the pine trees off the top and to have more water at the bottom but I loved the way the pine trees framed the image. Do you guys sometimes hate that not your full image is shown? I know when I took this photo, I was a little zoomed in. Maybe that was where I went wrong - taking a full scale shot might’ve helped to keep the full scene in when it came time to do the Instagram portrait crop. • Hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend! Did you do anything fun? I was spending time with family all weekend & now I’m back in FFM, ready to take on another week of work. 🙋🏻‍♀️🔥 • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkcanada #tkknorthamerica #kaptainkennycollabcamp • #parkscanada #ExploreCanada #imagesofcanada #canadaswonderland #igerscanada #ohcanada #canadaday #ig_canada #oh_canada #igcanada #snapshot_canada #tourcanada #enjoycanada #canadianrockies • #albertacanada #travelalberta #visitalberta #visitcanada #banffnationalpark #mybanff #johnstoncanyon
    • *The Defender* • I don’t know why I’m like this but sometimes with it takes me 1-1.5 years to find the inspiration to write a specific story. That’s happened today with my food guide for Tallinn, Estonia. • I went to Estonia last year in June. While there I was doing the usual IG stuff like stories and daily posts. As soon as I got home, I wrote my nature article on what to do in their big national park up north. But the motivation to write another on the foodie scene there just wasn’t with me. I don’t know why! (Even though I had AN AMAZING eating experience in virtually every restaurant!) • But today I was delving into some statistics and realised that without a doubt my most popular articles are the “where to eat in ....” guides. I guess people value that I always pair my recommendations with photography and they appreciate that the work has been done for them. Maybe that’s why those posts do well. • Anyway, I woke up today and thought: “I’ve actually WANTED to write that post forever so today is the day.” And right now, I’m about 1/4 of the way through the process. (Still at the image sourcing / SEO renaming process. Then I will move onto writing it.) • Anyway not sure I need to “defend” this after-all. I’m a firm believer that creativity and passion aren’t something that can be manufactured. Some days you wake up and it’s there, other times not. I also think this is a different thing to a job or “getting a job done.” If I have a job to do, I will get it done. But if it’s my own creative outlet and up to me, I do it when it feels right. Thoughts? • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkcanada #tkknorthamerica #kaptainkennycollabcamp #landroverdefender • #parkscanada #ExploreCanada #imagesofcanada #canadaswonderland #igerscanada #ohcanada #canadaday #ig_canada #oh_canada #igcanada #snapshot_canada #tourcanada #enjoycanada #canadianrockies • #albertacanada #travelalberta #visitalberta #visitcanada #banffnationalpark #mybanff
    • *Why the numbers game isn’t the answer* • I’ve been on Instagram for years - maybe close to 7 I think. (Talk about Slow growth!) And in the course of that time, there has been a large proportion of time spent stressing about performance and numbers. These days it’s common to hear from people “If I can just get to 10K.” Then “If I can just hit 20.” ... “I’m aiming for 100.” And so on. • If you’re a goal setter and you really take pride in achieving goals, I’m not putting that down. What I’m saying is attaching your value, worth and relevance to a number is unhealthy and it took me many hard years of jealousy and watching others do better, to figure out. • In the process of this, I’ve come to one very honest conclusion. There are very few things in your control on this platform and these are the things that matter: 1) you can only control the content you send out: make it informative, educational, entertaining and authentic. But don’t make it fake. 2) interact with people here - be real and reply to people’s comments. In turn, leave authentic comments that really come from heart on other people’s photos. 3) Playing the “if I just get to xxx amount of likes or followers, I’ll be happy.” is not a good plan. You may get there, but once you reach it you’ll want more. And guess what? Someone is always doing better than you, getting cooler gigs and is “more popular”. • Jealousy can really hurt but only if you don’t realise you’re comparing yourself to someone who is on a different life path. • I have come to a point on this platform where I actually, truly feel happy with how it’s going. I have a small and sweet community of real people following me here, I am stoked to finally have a feed that I am 100% proud of - pure Mother Nature and mostly, I do not lose a drop of sweat if my photo ends up tanking or doing well. Some of my photos garner 70 comments, others 350. And that’s all down to what exactly I write in the caption. Jealousy is a curse - relinquish that feeling! • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkeurope #tkkcanada #parkscanada#canadianrockies#justlakeit#travelalberta#banffnationalpark #sandqvist #sandqvistbags
    • *READERS WANTED* {Anzeige} • Finally after two very long days, my first story about Iceland is online. Why should you read it? There is already SO much content online when it comes to Iceland - I really had to tell the story in my own way and not just reproduce what I’ve already read. • What you’ll read is the story of my road trip through the west of Iceland, in the present tense with a few funny moments thrown in. I hope you’ll find it entertaining and informative! • How can you read it? 1) Either click the link in my bio • 2) You can go on your computer and type in www.kaptainkennytravel.com and it’s the first blog entry. • Trust me, it’s a long story with LOTS of photography so you’re going to want to take a look from a computer instead of being hunched over your phone. • I’m so curious as to what you’ll all think of my storytelling style! 😀 • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkiceland #tkkeurope #kaptainkennycollabcamp #stutterheim #stutterheimraincoats @stutterheim @vaikoclothing #vaikoclothing @sandqvistbags #sandqvist #sandqvistbags • #visiticeland #guardiantravelsnaps #ourlonelyplanet #naturegood #earthfever #earthlandscape #icelandtravel #inspiredbyiceland #everydayiceland #earthlandscape #icelandair #igersiceland #absoluteiceland #topicelandphoto #wonderlusticeland #guidetoiceland #roamnation #icelandsouthcoast #visiticeland🇮🇸 #iceland🇮🇸

Someone is always doing better than you, getting cooler gigs and is “more popular”. • Jealousy can really hurt but only if you don’t realise you’re comparing yourself to someone who is on a different life path. • I have come to a point on this platform where I actually, truly feel happy with how it’s going. I have a small and sweet community of real people following me here, I am stoked to finally have a feed that I am 100% proud of - pure Mother Nature and mostly, I do not lose a drop of sweat if my photo ends up tanking or doing well. Some of my photos garner 70 comments, others 350. And that’s all down to what exactly I write in the caption. Jealousy is a curse - relinquish that feeling! • #teamkaptainkenny #tkkeurope #tkkcanada #parkscanada#canadianrockies#justlakeit#travelalberta#banffnationalpark #sandqvist #sandqvistbags
