CURRENT MISSION

maintaining happiness while traveling the world and meeting great people along the way who usually inspire me to be something better.

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy meeting and socializing with new people. I love learning from different backgrounds, opinions, and lifestyles. I don't take life too seriously.

I spent 2013 saving pennies to try and backpack 2014-2015. I stayed 90 days in Europe, and then three weeks in Morocco, landed a job in thailand which gave me the opportunity to travel southeast asia. Now I'm working in Hawai'i!

PHILOSOPHY

on the other side of fear is freedom. and if someone means a lot to you, tell them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm either chatty or reserved, depends on the vibe, whatever the case I try to contribute.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I really have had an awesome couchsurfing experience, really the memories of the people and the conversation are just as prevalent as the sites I see in the locations. When reflecting on where I have been, the conversation always mentions the person I stayed with. It's like I take a tiny little piece of each person and tuck it into my little traveling pocket.

Interests

people.
pets.
learning. everyday, doesn't matter what it is, love to learn.

FOOD. I love food, the more diverse the better. Generally I both think most foods from different cultures taste way better than American food. I am always up for trying something new and different, I think that is a huge chunk of experiencing different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you told young katy what future katy achieved so far, she would be amazed that she went to and finished grad school.

Traveling Southeast Asia was amazing... But Myanmar and Bali are the best places I've been to, hands down.
