Hello! I am katie, 25 from north London.
I have spent the past 3.5 years away from home to travel, explore, meet people and experience as much as I can.
Having started in Nepal, I went through India, a little of Sri Lanka, time in Israel, Jordan, Indonesia and two years living and working in Australia.

I love to meet new people and explore new places. I am friendly, out-going, easy to talk to and get on with and passionate about culture and food!!

Clean and tidy, respectful of your home - am sure to leave it in such a condition you'd never know anyone was there...only a good memory will remain :)

In England i studied for a BA in history but i have not used it directly for employment. Mostly i do waitressing work or any casual work as and when i need money. Durung my travels in asia and Australia i have done a lot of voluntary work and work exchange. Ive spent time working and living in rural areas in Asia and Australia and find peace within nature and the land.

I hope to be meeting you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is an amazing way to meet amazing people in amazing surroundings. To share my journey, experiences and happiness with people who want to share with me.

Interests

I'm the kind of person who will try anything once. Dont knock it till you try it kind of attitude.
I enjoy being nature, walking, running, cycling, camping, swimming in it.
On the other hand, I also find enjoyment in cities with personality and charisma. Exploring nooks and crannies along one way streets, or hubs that come to life at night and sleep in the day.
All I enjoy.
I like to learn anything, always trying to keep my eyes and ears open to absorb as much as possible.
