Description

A lively, self‑conscious narrator invites you into her world, introducing herself as Katherina—called Ina, Käthe or even “Kater” by those close to her—along with her eclectic household of pets, from a mixed‑breed dog to a blue‑eyed Angora cat and a flock of gender‑confusing canaries. From a tiny patch of land wedged between the Adriatic coast and the Pommerland, she sets the stage for a memoir that feels part travelogue, part philosophical diary, all tinged with a playful, slightly sardonic tone.

As she reflects on the restless urge to explore, the narrative weaves through her three‑year wanderings across continents, encounters with Japanese, Indian, and African cultures, and the bittersweet lessons learned along the way. Her musings on curiosity, risk, and the inevitable bumps of discovery create a vivid portrait of a wanderer whose inner journey is as rich and unpredictable as the external one. Listeners will be drawn into her charmingly chaotic world, where every new experience is both a question and an answer waiting to unfold.
