Hey! My name is Kate and I’m originally from a town called Louisville, Colorado. I live in San Francisco now, but have taken a leave from my job to travel Australia and Asia for a while!

I love all things spiritual — meditation, yoga, crystals, incense, sage, etc. My friends call me a sunflower. I am open to everything and everyone, and I accept all things as they are. I love to flow with the rhythm of wherever life takes me. I believe that’s the secret to happiness! That being said, I am pretty mellow and very low maintenance, and I love to meet new people while traveling!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to move around and discover but I always make sure to travel like a local, give back to the communities I stay in, and get the full experience of each and every place I go. Also, I sleep really well on couches, or even the ground if necessary!
