Open minded, forever adventure seeking photographer. Traveling is a big part of my life and couchsurfing is an amazing way to travel. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and trading travel secrets. I've also spent several weeks traveling with my amazing friend Katie and our shared profile if you'd like more references. https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kathrynminnema

I strongly believe it's about capturing how that moment made you feel, rather than just the moment. My art is about connections, and digging a little deeper than the surface beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is a big passion of mine, but it doesn't mean I get to do it as often as I'd like. Couchsurfing to me is another form of traveling...just without leaving your hometown. I love meeting new people, swapping stories, and sharing what I love about my city with people!

Interests

Traveling artist with a focus on photography, an eye for adventure and a passion for living. I love plants, folk music, talking to strangers, and trying new things. A lifestyle photographer who primarily shoots weddings, and portraits. I enjoy hiking, yoga, jam sessions and deep conversations. Creative and open minded. I made my career out of my passion for photography.

Likes: Campfire cuisine. Collecting old family photos (even if they're not my family), Graham crackers dipped in milk, I have a weakness for 90's grunge music and funny hats. The smell of rain. I dance often and take the time to enjoy the little moments.

Dislikes: Getting marshmallows fluff on my hands, dishonest people, aaand wet socks!
