Hi! My name is Katherine and I'm from the States. I grew up just outside of Chicago and went to university in Boston where I got my degree in Communication Studies and Gender & Sexuality Studies. I've been to nearly 40 countries in the past 3 years, a number that still blows my Midwestern mind, and just moved to Gwangju, South Korea to teach English! Now I'm working my way around Asia and looking forward to every minute of it :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like to view traveling as experience and personal development, not just a vacation. I want to meet locals, get to know cities through their eyes, and exchange stories and personal philosophies. Everyone I've met on Couchsurfing so far has been fantastic and I cannot wait to meet more people!

音乐、电影和书籍

I like indie and alternative music, and almost always have my earbuds in listening to music or podcasts. If you have a favorite local concert venue or bands playing near you, please let me know! I read a lot, and like discovering bookshops and libraries, and exchanging books during my trips.
