Greetings fellow travelers and kindred spirits!

I am 🕯️, a passionate soul on a quest for authentic connections and meaningful experiences. My life is guided by three core values: Truth, Agape, and being an "Idea Factory" – always curious and eager to explore new possibilities. 🥑 I believe in savoring every moment with a contagious smile 😁 and finding true wealth in maintaining good health through a vegan lifestyle.

As a contemplator, I relish delving deep into profound thoughts, and the intricacies of life's journey 🔥💨💧🌍 fascinate me endlessly. Music is my muse and a beacon of inspiration as I immerse myself in Philosophy and embrace the essence of being "Genuine 🌸."

Having a keen "Depth Of Vision," I hold deep reverence for all living beings, making me a giver and healer, ever ready for heartfelt connections and soulful conversations. I take great delight in capturing cherished memories, serving as a "Memory Capturer" during our shared adventures.

Compassion and patience are virtues close to my heart, and as a devoted student of patience, though just like an "Ultra Being," I constantly challenge myself to grow and evolve.

My love for nature finds expression through gardening, where I nurture both plants and friendships, embodying the spirit of a genuine "Well Wisher." Numbers intrigue me, and I find joy in exploring life's mysteries and being a guide on our journey.

The timeless wisdom of the Bible KJV accompanies me on my curious explorations, and I embrace freedom and simplicity by going "Barefoot," grounding myself in nature's embrace.

Life is a beautiful dance of "Play and Pray," where I celebrate the joys of existence while cherishing meaningful bonds. Embracing a minimalist lifestyle, I focus on the things that truly matter, just like my deep appreciation for the beauty of "Trees."

As an "Experimental Chef," I take pleasure in concocting delightful culinary delights for your taste buds during your or my stay. Let us bask in the warmth of the 🌞 and contemplate the mysteries of the 🌚, as we discover the true value of life lies in the depth of friendship.

My creative spirit finds expression as a "Creative Freak," embracing imperfections through the philosophy of Wabi Sabi. My natural hair reflects my adventurous spirit, honesty, and appreciation for individuality.

As a true "Tea Addict," I derive joy from brewing soothing cups of tea for heart-to-heart conversations. I embrace the challenges of an "Ultra Walker" and a "Grinder," constantly pushing myself to new heights both physically and mentally.

Rooted in my beliefs and values, I welcome you with open arms to share your stories and create lasting memories together. Let's embark on this beautiful journey of friendship and exploration, with the anticipation of forging unforgettable connections! 🌧️🍵🌞

Yours in wanderlust,
Kitara Barungi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I absolutely love learning new things, exploring unknown places, and connecting with people from all around the world. It's truly one of the most incredible experiences life has to offer.

Through couch surfing, I have the opportunity to dive into different cultures by staying with local hosts who graciously open their homes to travelers like myself. It's a chance to immerse myself in their way of life, understand their customs and traditions, and gain a firsthand perspective on the world.

What I find truly fascinating is the exchange of knowledge and stories that takes place between me and my hosts or my guests. I get to learn from their unique experiences, hear their captivating tales, and share my own adventures. It's a beautiful blend of cultures and backgrounds coming together, expanding my understanding of the world and forming deep connections with incredible individuals.

On top of that, couch surfing provides an affordable and inclusive way to travel. By saving on accommodation expenses, I can allocate my resources towards other exciting activities or extend my trips to fully embrace the beauty of each destination.

Couch surfing aligns perfectly with my values and passions. It allows me to embark on thrilling adventures, discover hidden gems, and establish lifelong connections with fellow adventurers who share the same love for exploration and cultural exchange. It's an enriching journey that never fails to ignite my curiosity and leave me with memories that will last a lifetime.
