I'm Katie, I’ve been living and teaching English in Italy for 2 years now.
My bucket list is currently at 97 (and counting!), a couple of things I really wanna do in life are to live in Barcelona, get a motorbike license and travel to South America,
I'm passionate about Italian language and culture, I enjoy learning languages! Fluent in Italian and learning Spanish too. I'd like to learn a little Portughese, French and Dutch too.
I love to cook, food is a passion of mine. I'm keen to try out new recipes, food is a great way to start new adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up to couchsurfing hoping to travel more, open my mind, have adventures and meet many new wonderful people! So far it's it's given me nothing but adventures and I've met some truly great people.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to host at the moment but I can't wait until I can host and carry on the adventure!
