While writing die Fernweherin, I try to be as open and honest as possible. As such, this blog contains detailed accounts of my struggles with anxiety and depression, including topics such as self-harm and suicidal ideation. It also includes references to my job as a nurse, which involves dealing with delirium, trauma, and death. Based on recent research findings which indicate that they may do more harm than good, I do not use trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.

If you or someone you know is depressed or suicidal, help is available.

A couple other topics that are much less important, but still need to be brought up:

Some posts on this site contain affiliate links, meaning that if you buy something through them, I will earn a small commission that helps me to continue to be able to afford to create new content (of course, should you choose to purchase anything through these links, I pinky swear that it won’t cost you a cent extra). Also, this blog may in the future feature sponsored content. Any content that I am directly paid to write about will be clearly identified as such. I solemnly swear to always share with you my honest opinions about any & all products, services, et cetera that I review.

Lastly (and, quite frankly, leastly)…from time to time, I use language that some might find offensive (i.e., I swear). If coming across the occasional F-bomb while reading is a total dealbreaker for you, then we probably aren’t going to be a great fit.


Happy travels,
