ABOUT ME

My name is Kate and I am currently taking time off of school until my grad studies program next fall. I love to meet new people, as I'm sure all of you do. Skiing, traveling, and music are my passions. I'm very mellow, but spontaneous and outgoing. I'm up for any adventure and I get along with anyone :)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take life too seriously.. it's meant to be lived forwards, but understood backwards.

"When opportunity doesn't knock, build a door brooooo."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to be able to host some fellow cs'ers, however its been difficult since I have been moving around quite a bit. Eventually I will contribute more to this amazing and inspirational organization and be a great host like those who have hosted me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed a bit around the states and Canada- the people I have met are amazing and still keep in contact :)
