ALOHA :-) (I’m travelling and cannot host you guys)

Hi I am Kathi from Austria. I love traveling | to be outside in the nature doing different kinds of sports | to meditate and to be present | also to have some nice (live)-music | to make art | to create and manifest | sunsets/sunrises | backpacking | to learn something about other cultures from local people | to meet nice openminded people | share stories | doing crafts with wood and self collected stuff | ENJOYING LIFE - Being in the NOW

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin :)

The job has been canceled and from June 2020 onwards I started my trip from Austria, which leaded me to Italy, Sweden, France & Spain (by bus, train, BlaBlaCar, ...) and then on to Latin America 🤗
Entonces.. from Mexico down to Costa Rica by land :) and then a flight to beautiful Colombia 🙏❤️🌞✨😀 then Ecuadoooor, beautiful Peru and now I’m exploring Brazil for some months yihaaa :)
I want to fly as little as possible & travel rather slowly - to feel the change and every kilometer. A long trip with my backpack/ tent and an open end is "planned" - simply following the "flow" - everything usually turns out differently than expected 🙂

I worked as a graphic designer and an illustrator, painter, in farms and so on.. I like to do art, paint walls.. spread as much colors as possible :) - breathe new life into old furniture before buying new ones - up-cycling in general - I also like to dig in the ground, work in the garden / harvesting .., I am very fond of children and also (nearly 😆) all kinds of animals .. Generally I love to be outside in harmony with nature, I am frugal / do not need much material stuff.
I meditate, doing yoga, go climbing, mountain biking, mountaineering, surfing, ......... catching moments --> photography is also a great hobby and I am addicted to sunrises / sunsets ❤️ I am very interested in music and other cultures. I am a very curious person and love to do something I haven’t done before. My inner child is still very active and it will always be 🙂 Variety is nice, continuity too - I also enjoy being able to relax and unwind and am always happy to have a good time with nice people.
On my trip I would also like to learn more about permaculture and maybe there are some self-catering groups that I can help along the way. If I could support local social projects - that would be a dream !!

What I still want to learn: my first musical instrument (ukulele is with me), handstand, Spanish (aprendo ahora) and I finally want to learn to whistle (2nd instrument ?!) .. haha ​​😆 ...
But I'm sure that there will be a lot more 🙂 and yihaa I'm looking forward to it!

It would be a pleasure to meet locals or other travelers along my way and spend an amazing time together - share experiences. It would be veeeeery nice if you host me.

Please no dating requests.

🌞 All the best & Nos vemos - See you 🤙
