ABOUT ME

Hey--I'm Katie, a young American woman who quit her job in this fine fine economy to travel and work for free. I've been WWOOFing in Ireland since September 2011 and it's been fantastic. Although I'm getting a little weary of mud and rain, I've met some wonderful people and feel like I have a constant growing pain in my brain from all the new things I've been learning. I like good food, booze, books and friends, and run stupidly long distances in exceptionally foul weather for fun.

PHILOSOPHY

learning to do what feels good/right instead of what I'm told I should do is scary but freeing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Two old men playing the blues on beautiful guitars at the shelter I worked at back home. They were masters of what they did, just had their guitars talking to each other, back and forth. It a privelage to see.
