Hey everybody,
My name is Katrin and I was born in 1979 (now I don’t have to adapt my age every few minutes ;-)) ) in the South of Germany.
I’m a passionate traveller, traveling almost always on my own and usually longer than most people do: My normal „holiday“ lasts between 4-6 weeks but in Canada I was traveling for seven months, so basically everything is possible 😉
I like to pretend that traveling and meeting new people is my real life. In between my „real“ lifes I work an office job as Clinical Data Manager, currently transforming into a Web Developer. So maybe in the future I can combine these two lifes of working and traveling.
Since I’m doing some unusal staff during my holidays (like working, traveling on a cargo ship, cycling every day,…), sometimes I bother to write it down – to keep all the good memories and maybe anybody else is interested as well.
A few years ago I started to focus a little more on photography with which I have a weird like-dislike relationship: I’m not the keen photographer who takes his/her camera wherever they go, with super expensive gear who loves to take 1000 shots of a single motif.
Instead I like the meditative part about photography: that one focuses on the activity so much that everything else fades into the background.
The same goes for my passion for sports and just being outside in nature: fun and the experience of being right there in that particular moment are the things I love the most about it.
And in case you’re wondering why the „Backpain“ section is currently the only sports section online:
Backpain has been my loyal companion since my teenage years, I rarely go more than 1-2 weeks without any pain. So besides the joy of movement, backpain has been one of my big motivators for exercising regularly.
That’s why I think it deserves its own section covering all the learnings I collected over the years. And maybe some piece of info might also be helping someone else.
And there will be other sport sections as well in the future, I think, probably ;).
