I'm Kate - a freelancer with a love of travel. I have a background in wellness, specifically Chinese medicine, yoga, and nutrition. There's nothing I love more than an open schedule with new places to wander. I'm an avid reader, writer, and am always thinking up new ideas or travel plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In our rapidly changing world, it can be so easy to disconnect from others. As a writer and digital nomad, I find it particularly easy to get stuck in my own little world. Traveling and using sites like Couchsurfing, Workaway, AuPairWorld, and Airbnb have been my remedy. I love to learn from and connect with people from around the world. I can't wait to meet you, too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For the past year, I have played supernanny to two littles in Australia who lost their mum. While no one aspect of this endeavor qualifies as "amazing," I know that I have made a difference in their lives and hopefully eased the blow of such a loss. We are now family and I can't wait to watch them grow up into amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Wellness, natural health, natural beauty, acupuncture, chinese herbs, cooking, nutrition, English.

I'd love to learn: French, Italian, history/architecture/local living in your area, cooking, wine tasting, art, yoga, meditation, sewing, photography, anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My domestic passion is cooking! I love to cook and have basically a live-in personal chef for the folks I currently live with. Baking doesn't come quite as easy but it is something I am practicing (rules, rules!) and would love to share that as well. I love to entertain as well as well as declutter and organize.

If you happen to have a business in an area I feel relatively confident in writing about, I would be happy to create some content for you.
