Hey you!
We, Katharina and Dustin welcome you to our Blog!
We have not been able to take a breather from the busy world in a few years.
As we felt the stress accumulating, which affected both our physical and mental health, we have made the decision to take a one year sabbatical.
While doing that, we thought of documenting our journey, making pictures and videos so family and friends can follow along. In addition, we can reminisce about this year in the future and inspire some of your for your next journey!
So step into our world of wanderlust, food and relaxation, and follow us on our path during our year off!
About Katharina
Hi, I’m Katharina.
I am from Austria and aside from drawing and reading, I love to be in calm and quiet spaces.
Going for walks in the forest or around a lake are just examples of things that bring me great joy.
I’ve always been driven to give my best and work hard, no matter the aspect of my life.
But I realized that I am longing more and more for a slower and more paced kind of living.
Before drastically changing my life, I am taking up the opportunity of this sabbatical in trying to see if it is myself who thrives on stress and pressure, or if I can actually find peace and quiet within myself.
Since a year is a long time and I will miss my loved ones terribly, I want to document the journey and stay just a bit more connected with them by sharing our experiences and adventures.
About Dustin
Hi everyone,
I am from Bavaria, Germany and have relocated to Vienna, Austria, to move together with Katharina in late 2019.
I love being in nature and exploring places I have never been to.
Ever since Covid started, everyones life and lifestyle changed.
For some, it became boring and lonely – For others, life became very hectic, such as for me.
Whenever I found some time in between my stressful days, I took some time-off.
Once travelling was possible again, I went on vacations, some smaller and one even bigger.
But no matter how much I tried to calm my mind and body, I haven’t been able to really relax and get back to my usual calm and relaxed self.
By going an a sabbatical, I hope to escape this constant state of stress and tension and give myself a break.
Whether I succeed or come to realization that the continuous stress is my new normal while ‘getting old’, I hope you will have fun in accompanying us on our journey!
