I'm a 21yo backpacker, just traveling around and finding my way as I go:)

I would describe my character as cheery and social, open-minded and spontanious. I'm constantly seeking for new experiences and meeting new people.

I post photos to my blog: idakau.tumblr.com and to my instagram: idakatariiiina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thing I love the most about traveling is meeting new people from all around the world. Couchsurfing is a fantastic way of connecting with people and getting to know their culture and lifestyle. I love being around people and sharing stories and memories with them.

Interests

I have a lot of passion for photography, writing, sports and cooking. As a vegan i love cooking plant-based meals and i'm also passionate about animal rights. I love listening to live music (and music in general) and going for long walks to just wander around.
