I’m Irka, a kindergarten teacher who is always on the lookout for a different environment to pursue her passion. Traveling has been a big part of my life these past years and has really evolved into my biggest hobby! My favorite color is orange, and my favorite thing to do is spending time with dogs (😂). I’m quite social and enthusiastic and I love listening to people’s stories and sharing beliefs and experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new places but not as a tourist, and I believe living with a local is the best way to see the city you’re visiting as it really is.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music - when I’m alone I usually listen to either classical music, rock or 00s pop
I love rewatching movies like LOTR or Pirates of the Caribbean but if it’s something new, I usually go for weird, slow-progressing indie films
I’m a bookworm, but the best book I’ve read is If this is a Man by Primo Levi
