About

Hi, I’m Johanna.

I am the founder of Pretty Book Places, a leading platform dedicated to literary travel.

Through thoughtful visual storytelling, I document destinations, literary hotels, libraries, bookshops
and cultural spaces around the world. My work sits at the intersection of books, travel, culture and
hospitality, inspiring readers to discover places through their literary atmosphere and stories.

What began as a personal passion for books has evolved into a specialised platform that inspires
readers and travellers to discover destinations through a different lens: one shaped by stories,
atmosphere and a love of books.

I believe that some of the most memorable travel experiences can be found in places where
literature, culture and a sense of place come together. A beautiful bookshop, a hidden library, a
literary café or a hotel with a remarkable collection of books can tell us as much about a destination
as its most famous landmarks.

Over the years, Pretty Book Places has grown into a recognised platform for literary travel, reaching a
global audience of readers, travellers and culture enthusiasts who share a passion for meaningful
experiences.

My work has taken me to bookshops, libraries and literary destinations across Europe and beyond,
collaborating with tourism organisations, cultural institutions and hospitality partners to tell stories that
inspire curiosity and connection.

Today, my focus lies at the intersection of literary travel, hospitality and cultural storytelling, creating
content that celebrates the enduring relationship between books and place.

Pretty Book Places is an invitation to discover destinations through their stories, their book culture
and the spaces where readers feel at home.

Welcome to Pretty Book Places.
