About me
Ina Catching Auroras
If you have scrolled this far, hi! Welcome to Catching Auroras!
It’s me, Ina, a travel enthusiast, introvert and a planner, doing what I love after my 9-5. I plan every trip myself, down to the train times, so I can actually relax once I get there.
Hope you have found this corner of the internet fun and useful. There’s more on why I started Catching Auroras over here.
Self-funded, guides based on real experience. If a photo is here, I took it.
