Hey there! I’m Felipe Tofani, one of the adventurers behind Frame Travel Roam Capture, a blog born from a passion for exploring new places and capturing vibrant moments.
Formerly known as Fotostrasse, this journey began as a photography project when I, originally from Brazil, found my way to Berlin. Two spirited black-and-white cats joined me in this adventure, adding a feline charm to my travels.
Initially conceived in 2013 as Fotostrasse, Frame Travel Roam Capture was my response to the desire to inspire fellow transnational citizens residing in Berlin to discover the hidden gems of the city I now call home.
Blending my love for photography with the excitement of navigating an unfamiliar town, I initiated the project with photo meet-ups, gradually evolving into the travel blog it is today.
What started as a documentation of local explorations quickly expanded to encompass journeys across the globe. From the cobblestone streets of Umeå to the vibrant landscapes of São Paulo, we’ve been fortunate to share our adventures with you.
Every trip, whether to historic cities like Dresden and Vienna or the northern landscapes around Helsinki, has become an opportunity to weave stories and capture the essence of each destination.
Nowadays, we split the articles and stories into two parts. For everything food-related, you must go to Camila Irala since she knows her words and tastes. For photography and unusual places, Felipe Tofani is the person to write for.
Frame Travel Roam Capture is not just a travel blog—it’s a diary of our global escapades, a visual narrative of the beautiful and diverse places we’ve encountered.
Join us on this expedition as we navigate the world, one frame at a time.

As you already know, Frame Travel Roam Capture is not the first blog I ever had. I have been publishing my thoughts and articles online for a while now.
My experience started all the way back in 2005 when I started writing about design on what I believe is the oldest Brazilian design blog that still exists today, with new articles going live every week. That blog is called Pristina.org, and you should check it out.
If you want to know more about me, the music I like to listen to, and the concerts I go to in Berlin, you should check my last. fm. Here is my LinkedIn.
Also, I have a personal blog on my design portfolio URL.
