Hi, my name is Katharina, thanks for visiting my website.

The idea behind Other Routes is that we often walk along the same streets, and see the same houses for years without knowing anything about them.

To many of us, the local has become dreary and boring, and we stop exploring the world around us. Instead, we prefer and rely on faraway places to give us new and exciting experiences.

Other Routes is about (re)discovering local places; in their geography, history, and cultural uniqueness. It is about expanding our perspectives, and to read different layers of a place - past and present - to find other routes.
