Hi guys, I’m Kattie!

I’ve been dying to travel anywhere and everywhere probably since I was old enough to conceptualize the idea, so finding a whole community of similarly travel-obsessed people is pretty fantastic.

Summarizing myself in a neat little paragraph is a skill I will probably never master, but here’s an attempt anyway:

I’m happiest when learning and experiencing new things, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant to pretty much everyone else. ;D I’m focused and dedicated when it comes to anything I can do to help others—animals included!—but I also firmly believe in living with a “stop and smell the roses” kind of mindset. The world is fascinating and beautiful in so many ways, and I’m endlessly curious about every one of them.

......Or alternatively, for those who prefer things in lists and codes:
• MBTI/16 Personalities —
ENFJ/ENTJ (VERY slightly Feeling-dominant) /
ENFJ-T: “The Protagonist”
• VIA Top 10 Strengths —
My inner character (1-5): Fairness, honesty, humor, prudence, judgment
My social self (6-10): Bravery, kindness, leadership, social intelligence, curiosity
• RIASEC —
ISC(A): Investigative, social, conventional (artistic)

(Honestly I’m just assessment/profiler obsessed and wish everyone else was too.)

I’m (FINALLY) planning to take my first ever international trip in about three months, and I would absolutely love to hang out with Couchsurfers in every new place I’m visiting! I’m gonna make a list of destinations here and do my best to keep it updated, so please feel free to add me or send a message if you live in any of these places and might want to chill with a friendly, enthusiastically intellectual, slightly odd yet nonetheless fun and sociable American stranger or if you’ll be traveling yourself and think we might cross paths at some point. :D
