Hi! My name is Katie and I’m living just outside of San Francisco, California. (East Bay Area) I’m a flight attendant and travel is one of my biggest passions. Im also in school pursuing Nursing and I’m looking forward to starting Nursing school full time in a few months. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and love being active, spending time outside in nature. I try and get away to explore a new place whenever I have the chance and can’t sit still for too long. ;) I love meeting new people, and also enjoy exploring places on my own. I try to keep an optimistic outlook on life and love to surround myself with like minded individuals. I love learning about unfamiliar cultures and phrases in different languages, although I have to admit I’m not focused on learning any specific language at the moment. Hope to meet some of you amazing people at some point!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people while saving $ on lodging, and hopefully host you all when you come to the States!

Interests

I've always loved hiking because you get to escape from the real world for a little bit and surround yourself with nature. It's so special because very few people get to see the wonders you see on a trail. There's just something about the smell of the outdoors and the abundant wonders that this world offers us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite genres include classic rock, reggae, R & B, country, acoustic jams, oldies, and open to anything!

Love reading when I have the chance: historical fiction/ non fiction uplifting mindset reads. But have to admit most of my reading is anatomy/ physiology textbooks these days!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Thailand for a year to teach English a few miles outside of Bangkok. One of my favorite countries with beautiful terrain, delicious food, and the most welcoming and genuine people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes all of above!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beer! But also:

High Fives
