hello stranger! my name is kora.
one year ago i left a lucrative but unfulfilling career behind and started backpacking across the world.
künstlerroaming is my travelogue & coming-of-age story.
as i’ve journeyed across the continents, i’ve encountered people, cultures, and experiences that have broadened the scope of everything i know. i’ve changed, learned, and grown exponentially during this time.
here, i’ll share everything i’ve learned from this time: essays on self-discovery and purpose, my favorite hidden gems of the world, the logistics of living off my savings on the road. you’ll learn how i’ve come to define the idea of “calling,” why sri lanka has my heart, what life is like on a peruvian corn farm, and how i survived three nights of ayahuasca.
i ask you to use my writing as inspiration to question the default path and to explore the world. leave a comment and tell me what resonated: what made you laugh, cry, sob? what are the questions you’ve been struggling with?

last but not least… what does künstlerroaming mean?
künstlerroaming is a play on the german word künstlerroman and roaming.
künstlerroman comes from künstler (“artist”) and roman (“novel”): it represents an artist’s coming-of-age story.
künstlerroaming is mine.
