Currently I am living in Vienna, working as a freelance designer & photographer. I love real travels that go beyond standard sightseeing. In fact crowded places full of tourist make me feel sick. I have lived in various countries, the last one was Bangkok in Thailand for a little more than a year. Being out in nature, cooking delicious meals and creating art fulfills me with great happiness. Oh and so do cats.

Regularly I manage to post on my blog, in case you are curious to see more about it: --> blog.catalinakoe.com
