About me

Sandra at the beach

Born and raised in Hagen, Germany, I’m a seasoned expat with a lifelong wanderlust. My adventures have taken me from the heart of the Ruhr Valley across the Swiss Alps to the shores of Kaua`i, where I currently reside. I’m a writer, podcaster, painter, and energy worker passionate about sharing my experiences through storytelling and assisting others in navigating the exciting (and sometimes challenging) world of immigration. My devoted Swiss husband, Urs, and I have embraced the joys of travel and the thrill of new beginnings, even with two children in tow during my first international move. As a mother of grown children, I’m embarking on a new adventure in which I have finally found my roots, including studying Hawaiian culture – proof that it’s never too late to learn and explore! I believe in the power of optimism and embracing every experience, even the unexpected ones. My journey has been filled with knowledge, laughter, and a healthy dose of «island time.»

You too have a dragon

You too have a dragon is a heartwarming picture book that invites children to connect with their own imaginary dragon – a symbol of protection, imagination, and uniqueness. From the fire-breathing legends of Europe to the playful moʻo of Hawai’i and the lucky dragons of China, this gentle story helps children see the beauty of cultural stories and the strength within themselves. With whimsical illustrations and thoughtful questions, this book encourages young readers to dream big, explore their identity, and feel safe – knowing they are never truly alone.

Soul Painting

What is «Soul Painting»?

Soul Painting is a type of art that not only brings happiness but also expresses deep emotions from the soul, compelling the artist to transfer those feelings onto canvas or paper. Every brushstroke and spatula mark contributes to the process, serving as a form of meditation. When the artwork is complete, it reveals a glimpse of the painter’s soul. However, it doesn’t always have to reflect only my soul; “Soul Painting» can also embody the essence of another person. By embodying someone else’s perspective and allowing your emotions to flow freely, you create a unique piece of art.
