My travel adventures

& some other stuff

  • Welcome to my Website!

    Hello and welcome to my page πŸ™‚

    I’m Katrin and I used to travel a lot in my 30ies.
    Currently (2026), I’m working on including all my old travel blogs to keep all these good memories alive.

    I’m also adding some new things, e.g. DIY recipes and content about my current photography and sports activities.
    So you’ll find a pretty colourful mixture here πŸ™‚
    And maybe there’s something interesting in there for you as well.

    Enjoy!
    And please let me know if you find any errors or inconsistencies in the contact form. Thanks!

  • 20th – 24th September: Toronto to Digby

    20th – 24th September: Toronto to Digby

    After receiving virtually no feedback on my job applications over the summer, I decided to make good use of my time and take another trip to Canada.

    Conveniently, I found a cheap flight on Air Transat – and on September 20, I set off once again for Toronto.

  • News!

    Today there is some news!!

    First of all: I’m officially blue…..unfortunately I had to delete the pictures of me because they all looked stupid…but I have a picture of the final result:

     

    tool shed after my paint job πŸ™‚
    And of course I got lots of paint on my previously clean body, too πŸ™‚ Ha, ha,… πŸ™‚
     
     
    THEN: 
     
    I finally got the stuff and the number for the bike marathon in Daun….. and it’s only 10 days to go!!!!!
     
     

    And my body is already preparing for this event, too – unfortunately without asking permission.
    I try to convince myself that this is some self-cleaning function I haven’t been aware of until now:
    for the last two days everything I’ve been eating turns into liquid…..really strange….and NO, it’s not nerves – not yet :-P. It might be the water I drank from a stream three days ago but I refuse to believe that our clean German stream water is not drinkable!!!
    So, I stick with the self-cleaning theory and hope that my body is clean enough soon. I obviously don’t need any more weight reduction otherwise I’m going to be blown off my bike by the start signal next week.

    This is what hopefully helps to get my body back on track:

    I haven’t tried that stuff before, therefore: keep your fingers crossed!!!

  • News?

    This was my second day at home…my room looks like some world traveller has just dropped their belongings. I hate it but I also don’t want to unpack thoroughly since I don’t intend staying for too long….or at least I hope so.

  • Hangover

    So today’s THE day: I’m moving back in with my parents……and I feel terrible.

    Not only because we’ve been to the wine festival yesterday as kind of farewell party and my head is pounding now. But also because I came here with high hopes for the new job, for new people, for a complete fresh start. Like you always do when you start  a new job. But everything here has somehow come to a dead end. Everything I tried seemed just to not work out. So much wasted time but leaving here still feels like giving up.

    Especially like giving up my freedom.
    You shouldn’t be moving back to your parents when you’re over 30, it makes you feel like 10 again. I feel like my life is shrinking and like I’m moving back into the golden cage. I hate this dependecy.

    I want to be free, I want to have my own flat, my own income, my own freedom. I feel like I’m never getting back on my own feet again.
    Hopefully it’s just the hangover talking….

  • 6 months later….

    ….wow, it’s already middle auf August but nothing much has changed yet.
    I guess due to summer vacation there are not much offers at the job market right now. I sent out another application the day before yesterday but that’s about it.

  • JEY…….I survived Monday…

    JEY…….I survived Monday…

    …and tomorrow is my day off – and I don’t have a clue what to do (it’s supposed to be raining again). Maybe just go to Beacon Hill Park and to the seaside – or Butchart Gardens (haven’t been there yet)….
    But if anybody has any other suggestions, please write me NOW πŸ™‚
