Katharina von Tschurtschenthaler

Hanging out in local supermarkets is one of Katharina's favorite activities as well as trying out an all Japanese diet in order to achieve a long life. You might bump into her at one of Tokyo's public pools or running around Tokyo, lately uphill – including Mount Fuji. After all she is a mountain girl who grew up in the Alps in northern Italy. She is happy to be back in a mountainous country. Before moving to Japan she lived in Belgium, one of the flattest country in Europe, working as a TV reporter covering European politics.
