Hello :)

My name is Kat. I'm going to keep this short and sweet until I can type on a computer.

I'm frpm northern Virgina, attended university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I studied Textile design. I then travelled for a brief time and ended up farming in Tucson for three years where I met my husband (yes, of course there's a story in there). My husband and I were married in March, left our jobs and Tucson in September to travel around South America for a year.

I love to explore new places, to be outside. I enjoy seeing the beauty and magic in both the simplicity and complexity of nature.

I love to create art in my spare time. Weaving. Illustration. Jewelry making. Painting. Sculpture with found objects. Dancing. I love to collaborate with other artists.

I love a wide variety of music.

I love to read.

I love to cook and to eat. My husband and I are primarily vegetarian, though we will eat chicken and fish if we know the animals were raised or caught humanely and /or sustainably.

I am learning to speak spanish. Mi esposo habla español.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have been on couch surfing previously and had wonderful experiences traveling around the United States. I met really wonderful people and I am looking forward to meeting people and sharing wonderful experiences with

兴趣

Art and all the masks it wears. I love to share mine with other artists, I love to trade and barter.
The outdoors. I love to backpack and camp, especially when it takes me far away from modern civilizations. I enjoy rock climbing and being around water (lakes, rivers or the sea). Spending time outside makes me feel connected to all of life, I treasure those moments.
Good food and good ingredients (growing them, cooking them and eating them).
Books, reading them and learning to bind them.
My husband and I are very interested in permaculture and economic construction.

音乐、电影和书籍

I really enjoy a wide variety of music.
I've been singing Chet Fakers version of No Diggi tu by Backstreet a lot lately. The original as an EP was the first CD I ever owned. The immediate next two were Alanis Morisette and Nirvana.
Here's a spectrum.... Gillian Welch, Jolie Holland and Joanna Newsom. First Aid Kit, William Elliot Whitmore and Monsters of Folk. Tool, Nirvana and The Mad Conductor. Led Zeppelin, The Decemberists and The Shins.

I love to watch movies. My favorite is called Mirrormask. I love anything by Miyazaki and Wes Anderson. I enjoy old classics. I do not like gory horror movies, but I like thrillers.

My favorite book is The Book of Flying by Keith Miller
