My name is Kaia! The picture does a pretty good job of wrapping up the things in life that give me joy, it is of my little brother and I taking a hike in the national forests in Eugene, Oregon (where I'm from in the US). Besides spending time with my family and hiking, I also love cooking vegan meals, reading fantasy books and making plant friends (often referred to as gardening). I'm in my final year of studying biomedical science at AUC, so I love general biology and chemistry science exploration especially when it has to do with plant physiology or biological systems.
