Description

Hello everyone!
My Name is Katha, I am 26 years old, from the beautiful country of Austria and I recently finished my Masters Degree in International Development in Vienna. In 2012 I lived in Argentina for a year as part of a cultural student exchange and I am super excited to go back for the first time in 2024!

My plan is to visit Latin America, or Abya Yala (which is an indienous name for the continent), listen and learn. I want to travel north for about a year until the carrebean and then sail back to Europe. I travel on a budget and I try to live sustainable. The route plans may change like the wind tho :)

My grandma describes me as independent young woman with messy hair and a bad taste in men, my ex co workers & friends (from a digital second hand market where I worked 4 years) say I am kind, a teamplayer and critical thinker and my best friend (with whom I shared a bed for the last 6 months) describes me as funny, self reflective adventurous and a little hippie.

I grew up in Nature, spending a lot of time in the Styrian Mountains hiking, climbing, skiing and biking. I also love doing Yoga and I meditate regularly. I enjoy working on projects in communities - organizing a shared vacation, planing a presentation, working on political campaigns and just create spaces for different people to connect.
