Hey, my name is Katelin. I like craft beer, books, and my rabbit Spock. I'm from the prairie but I love to travel and find new cities and towns. I've traveled around a lot and lived in some pretty interesting places. It entices me to go to new places and realize that there are more secrets there than I have time to discover. I'd like to be acquainted with your city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to experience new places is by interacting with the people that live there.
