Welcome to my website!

Close-up of Karina Sturm's face. She is smiling, wears a neck brace and has a little flower clip in her short brown pixie cut hair. Her hair are blown around by the strong wind.

This is me, Karina – journalist, author, writer, and professional patient

I love the ocean, food (a lot) and, above all, writing, where I try to combine medical and scientific facts with human experiences. When I am not writing something, I am a professional patient, seeing my doctors concerning one of my chronic illnesses.

raise my head and make a step forward
