Hi, I'm Judith

And just like you, I am wearing many hats!

I’m an author, a researcher with a Ph.D. in Development Studies, an entrepreneur and a digital course creator. I’m also a wife, a mom of two little girls, a dog lover, a daughter, sister, auntie, friend, and just Judith – a woman with many dreams, aspirations and passions that I’m eager to bring to life.

Originally I’m from Germany, but I have lived in many countries across the world and consider myself a global citizen by heart.

And I love to explore tools and techniques to bring joy and fulfillment to everyday life: by learning from different countries and cultures, by exploring positive psychology tools, and by exchanging with wonderful people from across the world.

The Book That
Began the Journey

“Inspirations from Abroad for a Happier Life at Home” is my debut book, born from a wealth of experiences in nine countries. It’s a guide to embracing a positive mindset, inviting joy, and celebrating the shared humanity that connects us all. You can find this transformative work on Amazon in various formats.

My intention is to make a contribution to intercultural learning and appreciation, and to explore tools that can make everyday life more joyful, balanced, and fulfilling.

What People Are Saying about the Book

As a fellow global citizen, I thoroughly enjoyed the reflections throughout this book that caused me to question my own experiences traveling and living abroad. Fuhrmann has organized each country's chapter in a way that captures its joyful essence on the page. Her exploration common themes, including faith, family, friends and food, is anything but common when seen through the eyes of a second culture. It reminds us all to take time to observe the beauty surrounding us no matter where we live. I also appreciated the well-researched aspect of the book and references to both modern and historical books and pop culture.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and had a big smile on my face while working my way through it. I was particular impressed by the very kind, loving and respectful manner, the uplifting tone with which the author describes her interactions with family and foreign homes, sometimes struggles, her willingness to learn from others and other cultures, to see and use the positive to strive for continuous growth in her daily life. She comes across as authentic and her empathy for others is contagious.

Wow this author is a great story teller. She leads us through 9 countries in vivid detail allowing you to feel like you want to pack and go to each one tomorrow. From an early age this young lady showed a great deal of courage and seemed fearless to do all this travel alone. Each chapter begins with a feature list of the country being spoken of and ends with another list of "Beautiful Lessons Learned" while in that country. The author obviously drips of a wonderful friendly, engaging temperament as she eases her way into people's hearts in each location.

I have traveled to over 70 countries and gained so much from all of them. So, I was excited to see what insights someone else has gained from their travels. I thought Judith's insights were thoughtful, sincere and spot on! It also made me think of other places I have traveled where I hadn't taken the tiime to think back and appreciate all I had experienced or express my memories in a manner that would help me recall the trip in a more meaningful way. I will definitely share this book with my nieces & nephews who are just beginning to travel themselves.

This book did a beautiful job of weaving personal anecdotes with valuable global lessons for a happy, fulfilled, life. These values are so important in the current times to bring us back together and strengthen our bonds as families and just human beings in general. The author includes many powerful quotes and research to support her personal findings. To top it off it is a very inspiring and enjoyable read! I highly recommend this book!

Judith has taken her love for travel, and used it to inspire us to truly appreciate the various cultures available to us to learn from. I sometimes forget to embrace the people and differences I'm exposed to when traveling, and this book reminds me of the importance of living in the moment, no matter where I am. In addition, she finds a way to summarize the best in each country, to provide a practical way for readers to use and appreciate the learnings once they return home!

Like the author, I have lived in many countries, and like her, I have tried to capture the best of each culture I have encountered. It can often be isolating to return home after a long stint abroad. Few truly understand what you have been through. This book opens this world to the reader. I will buy this book for my parents so that they can better understand my world. Thank you for the wonderful book Dr. Fuhrmann!
