I’m Taka (short for Tamara) — born in Georgia 🇬🇪, based in Austria 🇦🇹. I started as a solo traveler — sleeping on floors, chasing sunrises, living on curiosity, couches, and coffee. Couchsurfing gave me more than a bed: it gave me my best friends, my partner, and a life I never saw coming. A day trip to Salzburg turned into a marriage. Three wild kids later… here I am. I host community gatherings through #MeetinSalzburg — cozy, come-as-you-are meetups for locals and travelers who value real connection over small talk. 👉 www.instagram.com/meet.in.salzburg 🚫 I’m happily married and allergic to creeps. 🇩🇪 My German’s toddler-level — I can survive a bakery but not a debate. English preferred!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Some of the best humans in my life started with: “Hey, is your couch free?” So I’m still here.
Music, Movies, and Books
I grew up on moody indie rock and books that make you question everything — Orwell, Kerouac, King, Tolkien.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Met my husband on CS in 2017… and made three wild little humans 😄
Teach, Learn, Share
I share stories from solo travel, accidental love, and chaotic parenting. I juggle Georgian roots, Austrian daily life, and the occasional stray sock from someone else’s suitcase. Might even teach you a few words in Georgian or toddler-level German. Just don’t ask me to conjugate German verbs. I’d love to learn anything you’re passionate enough to explain over a long walk or a short drink.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I bring stories that don’t need Wi-Fi and questions that go deeper than “Where are you from?” I travel to connect, not just to crash.
My Interests
I love getting lost — in cities, flea markets, or deep conversation. Coffee, wine, or beer makes it better (not required). I host meetups and bring people together who didn’t know they needed each other.
