Hello! My name is Kim. I am a local small business owner and mental health counselor. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and love it here! I enjoy all types of music, art, books, and more. Basically anything creative. I love learning new things and new ways that people express creativity.

I also love hearing people's stories and try to learn something from everyone I meet. I am an extrovert and energetic. I love people. I also love travel for these reasons as I get to learn and soak up new cultures and see what other people find value in.

I value authenticity, honesty, compassion, empathy, and love. I am working on growing my activism, but I already try to be involved in areas of social justice and sustainable living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and learning from new stories. I find value in new experience and discovering what everyone has to offer in a new place. I also like to travel.
