About Me
“
Hi, I’m Talia! Originally from Germany, I’m now in sunny San Diego. I started my travel journey in Chicago back in 2017, sharing it on Instagram. In 2019, I launched Talia’s Bucketlist to inspire your wanderlust.
Travel and photography are my passions, sparked by a trip to Thailand at 17. My husband, Johannes, is my partner in adventure, teaching me photography along the way.
Through Talia’s Bucketlist, I want to inspire you to explore near and far, even your own backyard. Join me on this journey – travel enriches our lives! Check out Travelwithtalia on Instagram and my Presets Shop for easy photo editing.
