CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Kia Ora, I'm Katherine from nz

I'm an inquisitive and adventurous person. I love walking up mountains and swimming in the sea. I'm an animal lover and an enthusiastic eater of all foods vegetarian. An avid watcher of cinema and listener of music. Quiet and humble. An uncoordinated yogi.

I've travelled through many countries couchsurfing and have meet some loving people through it. I have many memories that are heart warming. One of the best things a host ever said to me is that she could see that I want to know the world. I love pooling knowledge with the people I meet, and learning things from everyone around me.

IMPORTANT- I'm not interested in finding any sort of romance on CS. I'm in a committed relationship with my partner. :)
