Katharina + Katharina
by A. Beer + M. Rommerskirchen
Two designers who love to talk and who live in the podcast-generation should probably have a podcast themselves instead of writing a blog or limit their shares to Instagram posts – although we are visual victims.It is a podcast about two digital nomads in their mid twenties, about being newly self-employed, about financially surviving in European cities, about making wrong choices and about aha-moments. Without editing we record the episodes completely raw: you will get 100 percent "Katharina" personalities with all misspellings and spontaneous noises.
Episodes
-
Alameda + Hospital
Getting lost in the city while searching for the best ice cream, Sevilla showed us its prettiest corners and it literally felt like paradise. Living the dream while being sick, we were optimistic until we got to Barcelona. Stay tuned to know who stole our smiles and ruined our optimism.
-
Confetti + Takeover
Social Butterflies were hitting a new level of volunteering work: social media takeover for Alissa Katharina and classy bed-climbing (or in bed-staying) for Maren Katharina. Sharing the housekeeping-workload with our volunteer buddies, working for this Hostel was fair. We had our first monthly...
-
Invasions + Chia
Starting the next hostel experience as a volunteer, we arrived together with a french invasion to the biggest hostel we worked for – so far. Our days in Sevilla were fueled by chia pudding, tapas, Tinto de Verano, as well with antibiotics and rooftop sun-bathing while working on our laptops.
-
Rooftops + Corona
With a 12 hours holiday in Lisbon, we found ourselves in the South of Spain after a nightbus ride. Welcome summertime in Sevilla. Not knowing this will be the last city of our adventure... Optimistic that we will have the time of our lives again in a new setting, it all came to an end with a…

Secret Gui(de) + Obrigada
Having weekend-visitors brought back some weekday routines. Enjoying the time, guided by our tour guide incognito, we discovered new places – although Alissa has been in Porto before. Living a network-life, we felt the 21st century with connecting via Instagram. Even though there were no green...
-
Combi Café + Co-Work
The firsts continue: first time in a Co-Working space for us. And it wasn’t the only one. In Porto we extended the variety of working spots in the name of change while making new friends and job collaborations. Coffee culture is big in Porto and we have seen it all (?). Go and listen to this...
-
Homebase + Porto Tonico
Loads of firsts in Porto: yoga in the morning, (extraordinary) self-made breakfast, a netflix series and audio books scream "self care". Calming down in our home base with a Porto (Tonico) and friends.
-
Raindrops + Renting
In season 05 we talk about our prime time in Porto, living in our own apartment, being the boss of our daily routine and deciding for which healthy cooking option we are going for. Learning the lesson that paying rent can be relaxing. You want to know why? Go and listen to the upcoming season.
-
Pencil + Dank Je Wel
Exploring Rotterdam and exploring the Netherlands. This is about what we have done in our free time with welcoming visitors and visiting friends, making new friends while being on the construction side and falling in love with the ironic culture of the dutchies.
-
Wiping + Extra Attention
Fulfilling bigger jobs and random tasks, we spent hours doing extraordinary work. Part of the daily hostel routine was drying floors, wiping stairs, vacuuming stories and carrying bed sheets. Listen yourself if you want to find out what „Extra Attention“ means.
-
Stairs + Stroopwaffles
Talking about our contemporary home in Rotterdam in between the trash and the storage room. Living in the basement while people are partying in "Clock Tower" four stories above our heads. The dutchies introduced us to their beloved toasties, to Stroopwaffles and Oliebollen all the way to Kapsalon.
-
Welkom + Vouchers
Season 04 is all about our month in the Netherlands. Our time in this harbor city is best described with walking stairs, eating (mostly) unhealthy, visiting friends and building a "Tiny Villa". Staying in the city with the motto "Rotterdam Make it Happen", Rotterdam made it happen and they made…

Euros + Cents
"Many cents make a Euro." That is definitely the motto of Latvian market stand owners. For us this was a big change after spending six weeks in Stockholm where we didn’t use a single coin at all.

Branding + Bed-Climbing
Talking about what we did in Rīga work-wise, we combine talking about our jobs and tasks. So it is about climbing beds, no-shoe-policy, Corporate (Social) Design and Photography (Clients).
-
Alus + Breadchips
To continue with the things we experienced in city number two, this is a quick episode about many „first-times“. Rīga was filled with loads of nice discoveries - regarding our alimentation as well. It was about tasting sours and bitters, about bread in various forms and about (liquid) sweets.
-
Art Nouveau + Megges
New season, new city. Welcome back! With the last episode we finished the Stockholm season which means this one is about city number two. A lot of people asked us why we had chosen this capital - and where the heck it is located. Seemingly not a lot of our buddies knew it. Neither did we. But the...
-
Apple Pay + No Cash
The final of Season 2: "Apple Pay + No Cash" is about our fixed monthly costs as well as differentiate expenses. We are completely open about everything. This is probably a great summary, because you know everything about our accommodation, food, jobs + tasks if you’ve listend to the previous...
-
Sauna + Stamping
It's about the random and funny tasks which we happily fulfilled to survive in Stockholm. Stockholm might be the city we had the most random things to do – so far. We don’t want you to think, we went traveling as graphic design freelancers and had enough clients to finance our adventure from the...
-
Pop Up Store + Conference
