Hi!
I'm Katie, a kiwi from New Zealand about to travel around Japan with my great friend since high school Shayna.

You can find Shayna's profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/shinz

I have been back in New Zealand for the past 4 years and am ready to explore again!

Me and Shayna are both 31 years old and have vast travel, volunteering and couch surfing experiance.

Living and experiencing in a different country really opens up your mind to what's out there and how others live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just as any traveler with a backpack as a home, I am looking for some awesome people to meet and stay with while I explore what the area has to offer! I am keen to help out where possible, help clean, bake, cook and laugh with you.

Interests

Food!
Give me a recipe and I will try it, I love healthy baking and treats of course to!

Fitness and the great outdoors!
I love fitness classes and courses, If I can learn about my body and make myself feel great its a win win situation.
Adventures, short or long are my favorite, going for a walk, a hike a bike or a paddle, I am keen to explore what Europe has to offer!

Arts and Crafts!
I love to paint and be creative in anyway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk 1000km+ across Spain with all my belongings! Just me, my backpack and my feet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bake/cook or prepare healthy food and share with you some basic painting or creative skills!

I would love to learn anything you have to offer, from cooking, life lessons, fitness (yoga) etc.

I can share my thoughts on a healthy lifestyle, more deep mindfullness /holistic based ideas and what I have learnt in my life so far!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my thoughts on the world, my love for creating and baking sweet and healthy treats!
