Alina-Sophie Tolksdorf

Hi, I’m Alina-Sophie – a travel enthusiast, photographer, and content creator. I’m half German, half Austrian, 35 years old, and I’ve spent the past 20 years exploring the world. So far, I’ve visited 23 countries across 4 continents – always with a camera in one hand and a passion for discovering beautiful places.

Since January 2025, I’ve fully dedicated myself to building my Instagram channel – and in a short time, I’ve grown a loyal and engaged community of over 31,000 followers. What makes my content stand out is not just the aesthetic, but the emotion and storytelling behind it. I create content that inspires, connects, and feels real.

With Airwaves Studio, I have created a space where I bring inspiring hotels, brands and destinations closer to my travel community – by telling real stories, capturing emotions, and turning unique stays into shared memories.

I collaborate with brands and travel businesses as an influencer on Instagram and also create UGC (User-Generated Content). It’s incredibly rewarding to do what I truly love - being creative and sharing my passion for travel every single day. By my side is my partner, Tom-Julien (31), who supports me as a photographer, gear carrier, and helps me manage my community and business. We also create couple content together, but most of the time, Tom works behind the scenes and without him, I wouldn’t be half as good at what I do.

Soon, I’ll also be offering my own digital products such as presets and content resources for creators and travelers. My passion project is a guide to affordable travel showing how to enjoy luxury hotels and great flights without spending a fortune. With all the tips and tricks I’ve gathered over the years, it will be a valuable resource for travelers who want that little extra boost when booking. My academic background is in International Management, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. Alongside my creative work, I also work as an IT Project Lead, supporting companies in their digital transformation by developing apps and systems. This unique combination allows me to pair a creative soul with a strong strategic and analytical mindset.

So far, I’ve had the chance to visit around 23 countries. But I don’t believe the number of countries you’ve visited says much about cultural knowledge or travel experience. Traveling is a privilege, and what really matters to me is the depth of connection you build with a place. That’s why I enjoy exploring new destinations just as much as returning to familiar ones—there’s always something new to discover.

There isn’t a single country I’ve visited that I didn’t enjoy. Still, the places I’ve been able to experience more deeply stand out the most: the United States and France, where I had the chance to live for a longer time. Closer to home, Mallorca and Kitzbühel hold a very special place in my heart. Skiing is a huge part of my life — as a half-Austrian, it’s in my blood — and Mallorca has felt like a second home since childhood, thanks to countless family trips over the years and having a place I can call home now. 

For Hotels & Brands

Empowering Your Travel Brand & Enhancing Your Online Presence

I work with hotels, tourism boards, and lifestyle brands to create authentic, story-driven content that builds trust and drives engagement. Whether it’s high-performing Instagram posts, reels, or custom UGC (User Generated Content) – my goal is always to present your brand in a way that feels elegant, emotional, and real. There will soon be a travel blog and also I can feature your hotel or product in my top pick list.

Through years of traveling, capturing moments, and sharing meaningful stories with my community, I’ve developed a strong sense for what resonates – both visually and emotionally. I help brands connect with an audience that values authenticity over ads and aesthetics with intention. Let’s bring your story to life.
