In December 2016, I traded in my desk job in Washington, DC, USA to embark on an epic backpacking adventure to learn, discover and create beautiful things. I've traveled throughout Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and now I'm working my way all over Australia (check out my Instagram @ktgonerogue to check out where exactly I've been). To say quitting my job to travel was the best decision ever is an understatement! Im really passionate about health and wellness, nature, personal growth, freedom and connecting with inspiring people who truly understand what life is all about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The true richness of life comes from honest and deep connections with other human beings. Traveling has made realize that it's be people you're with who make an experience and I make it my mission to seek out others who have a likeminded mission to enrich his or her life through these types of connections. I love meeting locals as it is the best way to get a true flavor for the culture of a place. As I'm traveling for the indefinite future, being mindful of budget is important, so couchsurfing is the perfect way to help me save funds. Once I have a permanent home, I look forward to hosting couchsurfers!
