Hi, I’m Anna Heimkreiter
Glad to have you here! Let me introduce myself.
I am a world wanderer, self-portrait artist, illustrator, and wonder seeker who feels most at home in nature.
My art is inspired by the unique beauty of our existence on planet Earth. It is made for fellow wonder seekers and dreamers – a reflection of your ethereal spirit and wild soul.
My Story
Do you know that longing to know the wonders of the world? We call it “Fernweh” in German – and I followed its call. Since 2019, I am a full-time traveler with nowhere to call my permanent home.
It may not be for everyone, but I love this kind of life deeply. It moves me, challenges me, and fills me with a sense of gratitude that just keeps growing.
My recipe for feeling alive: adventure, moments of stillness & the magic of nature combined.
And if those years on the road taught me anything, it is that we don’t need much to experience happiness.
The key – to everything – lies within.

– The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.’
This quote has stuck with me for more than a decade. Like so many, I spent the first part of my life trying to fit in. Deep down, I was scared of being seen for who I am. Until… I realized being different is a secret superpower.
We are not made to fit in – but to create our own path, one that brings joy and wonder. Courage and creativity are now my north star. And I wonder… what would happen if we all lived this way? Dare to dream big, my friend.
Art is how I express
deeply felt wonder & awe
Fine Art Photography
Over the past ten years, I learned how to pour my soul into images. Completely self-taught, I started using art to connect to others and express what was dwelling inside of me through self-portraits.
Beyond that, my camera has accompanied me on all my travels, telling tales of wild mountain ranges, early sunrises, and the peace of solitude.
Digital Illustration
When I was a child, I could sit down for hours and draw (classic introvert activity). I long forgot about this special joy that painting brings until I slowly started rediscovering it in quiet moments during my travels.
Since then, I have learned illustration, bringing to life visions of women in touch with their highest selves, fully embodying the divine feminine.
Where Wonder Waits is not only a home for my art.
It is a place to share stories.
What kind of stories, you ask?
Stories about going beyond the ordinary, making fearless choices, embracing discomfort, finding awe in little things.
My personal journey has taught me that living starts beyond fear, and that we get to choose what our life looks like.
What I hope to inspire is simple:
I want you to know that you can create the life you want to be living.
Why I started a blog
I wanted a place outside of the fast-paced world of social media to share my stories. Somewhere to keep lessons from my journey for you to see. A space for reflection and sharing inspiration. The blog is where I write about what moves me, hoping it will serve others, too. Come along and learn what it takes to turn your life into a beautiful adventure.
