One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Some of Kat's travels:
Went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans the year the Saints won the Superbowl. Non-stop celebrations! :)
Went jungle trekking to a waterfall and slept in a traditional Rungus longhouse within the Borneo rainforest. Nothing beats sleeping to the sounds of the rainforest just outside of your room.
Ended up staying overnight in a boat in Kinsale, Ireland because I booked the wrong night at a hostel and there was no other affordable place to stay, except for a boat. It ended up being a great experience and was the best breakfast I had in Ireland, and with a group of friendly locals. :)
Attended my first 10 day Vipassana meditation course. Learned so much from the experience and would recommend it to anyone! It's free and is offered in many counties around the world! One of the best courses I've ever attended. ❤️
Teach, Learn, Share
Kat hopes to teach others about what she knows about the the places she has lived. Both would love to learn from others about their insights, perspectives on life and where they come from.
What I Can Share with Hosts
We can offer to help hosts clean up around the place or help with yard work!
