Heyyy, I’m Catrin ⚡ British lawyer, UAE-based adventurer, and the person your careers advisor probably didn’t have in mind…
Born in Jersey, trained in the UK, and now firmly planted in Dubai with a passport that’s seen better days and zero regrets. By day I advise on some of the biggest deals in the region. By every other moment, I’m chasing the next extraordinary experience – and writing about all of it here!
The Glampacking Lawyer is where law meets lifestyle, ambition meets adventure, and no two weeks ever look the same. Expect honest travel guides, digital nomad wisdom, legal life hacks, and the occasional reminder that life is genuinely too short for beige…
I started this blog embarrassingly late (2023, if we’re being honest) but what I lacked in timing I’ve more than made up for in stories. 75+ countries and counting! 🌍
The Bucket List 🌎
Despite having traveled to 75+ countries, I still have a bucket list a mile long (my guess is you do, too!)
Top things on the bucket-list:
➳ Exploring Bora Bora and also some lesser-known tropical islands 🌺 🥥
➳ Peru (mainly for the adorable alpacas! 🦙)
➳ A digital detox in Micronesia 🌿
➳ More of Africa (especially Madagascar) 🦋
➳ Vermont in Fall 🍂
➳ Antartica ⛄🌌
🌎 Anywhere else I should add to the list? Let me know ⤹ 🌎

If you are going to do Kapstaad, you should also see Victoria Falls, and other parts of Zimbabwe 🙂 See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnYtcH4YS44 for background of Zim (yes, even tho the dance etc is Zulu, he filmed in Zim)

Love this introduction Catrin—balancing high-stakes corporate dealmaking in Dubai with 75+ countries of travel is the ultimate nomad energy! That note about life being too short for beige really captures the spirit of this space. When hopping between quick layovers or remote work sprints, one workflow that has been a lifesaver for our travel recap posts is turning single high-res landscape stills into cinematic motion passes when there was not time to shoot proper b-roll footage. We have been using PicWav (https://picwav.com/) to animate static travel photos into subtle parallax video clips with cinematic camera sweeps right from our laptops. Wishing you many more stamps on that passport—excited to follow the upcoming destination guides!
