Hi!

I'm Karo, freelance artist/ dance instructor/ photographer from Estonia.
I spent 8 months solo backpacking before the pandemic happened.
And I'm finally back on the road again doing a cross country roadtrip through the US and then backpacking through Central and South America for the rest of the year!

I think that I've become sort of addicted to uncertainty haha. I need the constant change that traveling offers. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories!

• We are all specs of dust with a sprinkle of conciousness floating around on a pebble of rock in a universe so vast we can't even comprehend, so nothing really matters unless it matters to us. There's no point in wasting that short life on something that matters to someone else.
So do all of those stupid useless things you are "too mature to do" if they bring you joy :)

• Treat people with compassion but don't forget to have compassion for yourself! No one is entitled to your energy and time!!

NB!!!: This is not Tinder! I will report you if you act as if it is.
This also applies to every flavor of bigotry. I will report your ass!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to hear different perspectives on life and learn different ways of living, while seeing the places I'm traveling to as they are in reality instead of how they are portrayed to tourists.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to learn anything you have to offer and share/teach everything I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many stories of travel mishaps haha
I could also take your next passport photo and do my best to not make it look as terrible as they usually are.
I could teach you some dance moves or we could do yoga together.
I'll share my favorite vegan recipes if I deem you worthy of my secrets🌱
