Description
Hi! I’m Kathrin from Germany, an art therapist and a trainer in Nonviolent Communication.
I recently quit my job at a school because I realized I want more — and less — at the same time. More freedom, authenticity and connection, and less authority, rigid structures and predefined ideas of what is right or wrong. I want to explore what life can look like when I allow myself to step outside the usual paths and listen more closely to what feels meaningful to me.
At the same time, I want to make a positive impact in the world through Nonviolent Communication. I believe that more empathy, honest connection and understanding can change the way we relate to ourselves and to each other.
That’s also why I’m starting this journey. I’m travelling through Portugal and hope to continue to Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. I want to experience different ways of living, meet people, learn from different cultures and become part of everyday life rather than just visiting places.
I’m curious, open-minded and adventurous, but I also love quiet moments, nature and simply being. I enjoy music and singing, camping, bouldering, animals and good conversations.
I want to use this journey to explore new perspectives, learn from the people I meet and discover different ways of living — and hopefully bring some of that inspiration and learning back into the world.
I’m excited to learn, share, contribute and see where this journey takes me :) -

More details about your skills
I’m a qualified art therapist and a trainer in nonviolent Communication, with many years of experience working with children and young people. I enjoy connecting with people, listening, supporting others and creating a positive and respectful atmosphere.
I’m also creative and practical. I grew up around my father’s carpenter’s workshop and have always enjoyed working with wood and helping with DIY projects. My father and I still regularly work on creative projects together – usually I come up with the ideas and he helps with the technical side. :)
I love animals and have plenty of experience taking responsibility for them. I’m happy to help with animal care and give them lots of love and attention.
I also have some experience with marketing and design and enjoy photography. I’m always happy to use my creativity, help wherever I can and learn new practical skills along the way! -
