My name is Kate.
I am a hydrologist, a little bit scientist, who wants to get a Ph.D. eventually. But most of the time, I'm just trying to figure out who I am? Why am I here? Where am I going? ... or something less cosmic, for example, where I want to go on my next trip. I often dream about their routes, but in the result they are almost always unpredictable. I love sharing adventure travels with my marvelous twin sister Anna.
My goal is to be more in present...and preferably near the ocean!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pretty new on Couchsurfing , but its main idea hooked me from the first use. It is so easy to share with strangers small or very important things without any fear. I'm a little bit shy person, but I am trying to ride the waves of couchsurfing and be part of this amazing cycle exploring new people and places.

Interests

Rivers, lakes, seas and especially oceans can help me find answers in any incomprehensible situation. And not only because I'm a hydrologist.
