CURRENTLY NOT HOSTING AS I AM INBETWEEN PLACES! Smiley day to you! Iยดm Klara, small town girl from Upper Austria who just finished her Architecture studies in Vienna and is eager to see more of the world. My friends have described my travel style a perfect balance of ready to go and stopping every once in a while to enjoy the moment. I love to try new foods, learn about a countries culture and people, being spontaneous and positive. Dancing Lindy Hop makes my heart jump and I cannot wait to add new cities to my list of places I have shared my passion and encouraged other people to try it out! Also, I love motorcycles, the sun and thunder storms as well. Catch me dancing in the pouring rain! One story that describes me pretty well happened last summer on my way to Kalispell Montana to visit my host families (exchange year in high school when I was 15): The flight from Minneapolis to Kalispell was overbooked by 9 people and as I have never been to Minneapolis I decided to take the money and hotel room for a little detour. While waiting for us to be booked on the flight the next morning I started talking with a family of three (father, mother, 25 year old son). The conversation about our plans in Montana took a turn when I told them I was from Austria and they started talking in German perfectly with regional dialects! After 10 minutes of amazing conversation the Mom looks at me and asks "if you donยดt want to stay at the hotel all by yourself tonight - we have a big house and live only 20minutes from here - do you want to stay with us tonight?" Took a second to listen to my peopleยดs radar - no alarm or bad feeling in my gut so I answered: "YES!" We had a wonderful time, took the same flight the next morning and even met up to sing karaoke in Montana the following week! I live for encounters like this. A little bit more about me: Klara, 24, contagious laughter and in love with learning new things and appreciative of the small wonders of life. I love fun facts, being outside and I'm always up for an adventure. Getting lost in the streets, finding hidden corners and places and talking to people is my way of exploring a city. Simply exploring places from a non touristic point of view: Dancing lindy hop with locals, having philosophical discussions and - laugh out loud. I got some good jokes up my sleeve :) I love random encounters and for some reason crazy coincidences tend to find me, I have quite a few tales to tell. My hidden talent is for sure being able to sleep anywhere, anytime, so I am a very easy person to host - as long as I have a blanket, even a chair or the floor is fine with me. One of my items in my luggage is my two cameras (Analog&digital), my diary and a good book. And snacks of course :) (I guess thatยดs four, also still figuring the not overpacking out, getting better at it though!) I get super excited about food. I am vegan and love cooking - letยดs trade some recipes!

Hey there! I was born in the south of Chile, in a lovely city called Talca ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿท Iโ€™m a video editor by profession (I love telling stories through visuals ๐ŸŽฌ), but I decided to take a break from the screen to explore the skies โ€” now I work as a flight attendant for American Airlines โœˆ๏ธ and Iโ€™m also studying Psychology, because Iโ€™m truly passionate about understanding the human mind and heart. I live surrounded by nature, with three rescue dogs who are part of my family, and twenty chickens who kindly gift me fresh eggs every morning. Taking care of animals is more than a responsibility for me โ€” itโ€™s a passion. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ” I adapt easily, Iโ€™m open-minded, and I carry my life with gratitude, curiosity, and a bit of adventure in every step. โธป MY PHILOSOPHY If you want to and you can โ€” do it. If you want to but you canโ€™t โ€” find a way, and do it anyway. Because the best things in life start with one bold step. ๐ŸŒŸ โ€œTry not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you.โ€ โ€” Rumi
