Less perfection! More authenticity!
Living fully despite anxiety and depression 🌈
Hi, I`m Katja, a modern-day nomad living an unconventional life full of travel, self-discovery, creativity, and music.
In the last 10 years, I`ve lived in 4 different countries and traveled about 50 (most of them solo), I`ve worked on a cruise ship, in a hotel, had a career in journalism, trained in the military, became a DJ and finally a KZreadr - all this while battling anxiety and depression.
I`m a multi-passionate person and want to experience everything that makes my heart skip a beat! And that`s a lot of things!
Here, I share my crazy adventures, thoughts from my overthinking mind, stories of my sensitive soul, habits & rituals that tame my depression, my healing journey, and the randomness of everyday life.
I want to show the world you can live a fulfilling life despite personal setbacks! I want to inspire you to be the most authentic self and go out and do everything your heart desires!

Just catching up with this one, nice to see your yoga, meditating morning routine. I have a similar one (and similarly still feel anxious sometimes 😅) I agree, all this nature is stunningly beautiful. The water, just wow. Appreciate coming along for the ride with you, enjoying adventuring vicariously 😎 Edit: forgot to say, my comfort food is white rice 🍚 with heinz beans, probably because I'm half Singaporean, half English
Thank you for sharing your adventures, so much beautiful nature. Absolutely magical. Totally understand why you wouldn't want to show the fairies on camera, they need their privacy. I watched this with my partner, he says you're 'very chill'. I agree! He's also Scottish and appreciated the shout out 😅 Gorgeous views from the castle, you glow up there ✨️
Excited for the Bihać vid
@@ioard thank you!
THUMB UP :) Very nice place you discover in bosnia! "....if you dont look the trash" 😂 i would like to go there one day, far away from masstourism. Good job :)
@@virtual_travel_worldwide I highly recommend it! And some of the most magical places you’re yet to see in this video series 😉🤫
That's pretty useful, the amount of times I've had to grab a coffee just to use the toilet and then need it again because of the coffee 😂
@@liftoffandtravel it’s a viscous cycle isn’t it 😂😂
@@wherestheparty_ agreed 😂
Wow, glad you are still travelling. Once it's in the blood it never leaves! What an incredible view
@@liftoffandtravel yeah, I can’t help myself! Thanks for stopping by 🥰💕
Bosnia is most underrated country as well is most beautiful country in Europe :) and Una, well, Una is most beautiful river in whole world, although most of our rivers are just like Una, clean and drinkable :)
Amazing ❤❤
this country is so beautiful. I had a similar experience during rain visiting these waterfalls in croatia 😂 Pikatschu is a nice name for the car, but i guess she take whatever you decide to her ❤ Best regards and many safety roads for you two
thank you! Yes, rain means no people which can be a great experience as well. You visited Plitvice?
@@wherestheparty_ yes. plitvice with NO peaple. It was great but a llttle bit cold. 😂 I guess there is no place on earth that is more. beautiful than this two countries 😜 best regards
Hostel name pls
Costeno beach hostal
Great video from Bosnia even tho i am Serbian... you should next visit Belgrade, Serbia if you get the chance.
hey Tomislav, thanks for stopping by! I love Serbia!! Have been many times to Belgrade and Novi Sad. Just 2 days ago I drove the whole length of the country to go to Bulgaria and I definitely want to come and explore more of your countryside and the mountains. If you have recommendations, I`ll be super grateful! Hvala
I’m from Bihac- left Bosnia at age 10 in 1998. Happy to lend any insight if you have questions- here or instagram! Gonna follow this series 😊
thank you for your lovely message! I was in Bosnia almost 2 months ago but as you`ll see throughout the series I have many questions so your input is always welcomed!
@@wherestheparty_ Will keep an eye out!
@@ioard are you muslim croats? I mean the western bosniaks.
@@ozanbayrak562 I don’t believe I fully understand your question… My nationality is Bosnian and Herzegovinian. I am mixed with Bosniak and Bosnian Serb ethnicity. I am an atheist but culturally both Muslim and Orthodox Christian. Hope that helps answer your interest in my religious and ethnic background! If you are asking if western Bosnians(Nationality) are Muslim (religion) Croats (Ethnicity)- Western Bosnians can be Bosniaks , Bosnian Croats or Bosnian Serbs. Bihac is majority Bosniak Muslim
@@ioard I know Bihac is muslim bosniak; muslims of Bihac are converted croats or converted serbs?
I can understand you very well… good luck
Wow this was a wonderful destination! Thanks for sharing
@@virtual_travel_worldwide thank you for being here ❤️❤️
Seeing you driving and enjoying nature made me so happy ☀️ Absolutely beautiful place on the river, wow! Thank you for talking about the history, I don't know enough about it either It is terrifying putting ourselves out there! I think just continue to show us the process, it's not about the 'finished result'. People judge and misunderstand more when we try to present 'perfection'. But to echo what you were saying, the more vulnerable and 'real' and 'messy' we can be, the more people connect with us. You have all the answers already ❤
@@Miaow610 thank you Mia for being here snd always having such encouraging words for me 💕 I completely agree about the messiness of it all, and especially in this case - even the locals I met along the trip, as you will see in future videos, no matter of which nationality they were they always described the situation as complicated. I’m so excited to show more videos from this trip as it really was eye opening for me! I hope you’re enjoying your summer and your festival went well 🥰🥰💕
Thank you for putting yourself out there 💕 looking forward to more videos about the trip, sounds interesting Festival was amazing, thank you- I had a chance to do a fire walk (walking over burning hot coals) such a powerful experience 🔥🔥
I'm actually intentionally wanting to go there. For those who know. <3
tell us, tell us!
@@wherestheparty_ Its the home of Aquors. The manga anime Love Live Sunshine is based in Numazu. <3
@@randallgoeswhere ah yes!!! My brother told me about this!
Can Americans apply for these jobs or just Europeans?
that depends! you can definitely apply for them in US there are so many websites just on seasonal jobs in the US
Thanks! Very useful!
thank you! I hope you enjoy Tayrona park!
Yes, I have a suggestion regarding affordable housing. I did extensive research on this topic and ended up buying very very cheap houses as a result of that. Yes, I did have to put a lot of work and effort into fixing it, but it was all with it. Message me if you want to know more. I will also make a video of this one day.
Girl, I think you did it the best time round. Travel and have nomadic life style for years before getting fed up with that and then looking to getting settled. Rather than do what everyone does - buy a house, pay a mortgage, have pressure to have a good job always to pay the bills and not to be able to effect holiday. No luxury of gap in employment. You did it best. Most people envy you!
Wow! Love the spirit! 'I don't have a car, but I don't care, I will make it happen!' haha, great! 🎉 Go, girl go!
It's unbelievable how in the days of social media 800 subscribers is considered little. Imagine all this crowd of people around you in the life event. Isn't it just a lot of people? 😂. Lots of luck and love in fulfilling your life purpose in your job as well as KZread channel!
i know, it`s crazy! but social media is so far from reality and the metrics here are so insane. believe me I am grateful for every single subscriber and every view I get! thank you for taking the time to comment!
I'd love a video on how you arrange press trips. Love the honesty❤
Solo travel can have its advantages though, as you say. The flexibility, the freedom to do whatever you want. Have a fab time in B&H.
@@Antpersuasion thank you Gary!
Indeed if you rent a place you're fucked, no money left to invest, you only make your landlord rich. What you need is a homestead 😁 Can't you find a cheap homestead (in an other country) and build it up step by step?? Would be ideal if you had a partner though... Don't you miss that? Having a partner in crime to share your lifestyle with??! Greetings!
@@NicolasJ1992 hey Nicolas, solid points 👌🏻 that’s the goal actually but it’s easy to dream about it and a whole other thing to realise it. Real estate market is absolutely bonkers right now and I have very limited funds to invest… I want to find the perfect home but that’s a long process. And as for a partner, please send an emotionally mature, loving and openminded man my way!!! I would love to share my life with someone who can connect on a deeper level 🥰
Wow ❤❤ I wish you a Great Summer 🎉
Thank you! And I hope you have a wonderful Summer too ☀️✨
I appreciate your videos Katja, I've found your perspective very interesting. So happy to hear how exciting your new job and travel plans are!! 🙌 I've manifested teaching yoga at a festival this summer so I'm definitely feeling the same joy and excitement for life ☀️ so good that you're mindful of taking care of yourself too Looking forward to whatever you show us next, and I hope you have the fullest, most inspiring experiences in this next chapter! ❤
Hi Mia, thank you for stopping by ✨ wau, that sounds lovely, what kind of festival is that? I hope (I’m sure you will) enjoy it and make the most out of your summer too 🌈💕
It's a kind of hippie-ish one I guess with fire walking (hope I get to try this!), creative workshops, performers, reiki, dancing, yoga etc. Thank you, I'm so excited! 🌈💃
Aqours City NUMAZU ❤
I'm impressed that you unpack as soon as you get home, I still haven't unpacked a suitcase from a trip last year 🙈 and I don't wear bras either! (Always interested to compare how much things cost in different countries, good video idea)
I would love to travel to Japan one day. My mother went there when she sang with the Met Opera. I so need to get one of those pillows. First dress is nice and the pull over is basic but nice. Presents to yourself got to love that. Your white suitcase is cute. Yes smart not to bring too much if you planing to shop. Ooo the Moochi looks good and what lovely kimonos wow. How cool. That shop looks great. I can just imagine the thrifting there. I watched Lara Violette shop there and it looked amazing. That vest and skirt are super cool. I like magazines abroad. Loved this 👍and new friend here, excited to see more like this! 👍🥰☺
36:00 you can do your stuff 😂😂👍
What a lovely Place in Japan ❤
Food is probably the main reason I travel to be honest 😅
The Emojis Snack is the best 😂
Love this Sound and Food 😮
🐝🐝🐝
I agree
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉
❤
😂😂😂🎉
Really enjoy seeing a part of Japan I'd never normally get to see. Fascinating!
this the Japan I`ve been dreaming about! I`m glad you enjoy it 😍😃
👍👍👍❤
such an extraordinary Japan vlog. The toilet situation is really amazing: even in Switzerland I avoid public toilets. (unless you have to pay for it). 17:28 Goodbye to your brother, I will miss him very much in your vlogs. But I'm sure you'll take another trip to Japan together. So I'm hoping for part 2. Kind regards and thank you very much for this beautiful video
it`s not over just yet! We have another cool video coming from Tokyo and than that`s the end of the Japan series...
@@wherestheparty_ 🥰
I too fell in love with those little tiny villages. I could have very easily Stayed there and never went home.
I know right, it`s a different kind of Japan, takes you back in time!
Another fantastic, atmospheric and authentic peek at Kanazawa. Thank you, Katja. 😊
