“I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.”
-John Steinbeck
My name is Karin and I’m an adult Third Culture Kid (TCK).
I was born in the United States and spent most of my teenage years studying and living overseas in the Middle East and Europe. Since then, I haven’t lost the desire for travel or exploration.
I started this website as a personal project; a place where I can document the sights, sounds, and impressions of places I’ve been. As a triathlete and scuba diver, some of this exploration takes place in the water, with running shoes, or on wheels.
Whether visiting new regions or those within our home country, traveling opens our eyes to different ways of life and shows how we are all deeply connected. It inspires self-reflection and tests our boundaries as individuals.
Through writing and imagery, my goal is to share my journeys with you and inspire you to explore local and travel global.
Update 2026: Starting this year, I will edit my posts for grammar and flow. My writing skills are evolving and, without losing my personal style, I would like the content to reflect some of these improvements.
