Hey there! I'm Kathryn, a 23-year-old performance artist. Right now, I am traveling the country with my best friend and fellow maker of art, Riley. I have personally used couch surfing a number of times over the last year, but was traveling with a different friend and using her account, hence the lack of references for my account here. As far as my friend and I go... To put it simply, we are lovers of art, nature, animals, honey whiskey, rollerblading, Big Freedia-fueled dance parties, and all things debaucherous. We are traveling in search of soul food, beautiful landscapes, and new friends. Hopefully, that's you! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because my most memorable and heart warming travel experiences have been made by connections with new, wonderful people. Traveling new cities is more fun when you're throwing new people in the mix too. :)

Interests

All things art. Acting theory, improv performance art, music, dance, percussion, writing. Aside from that, I'd say I'm mostly interested in new and developing connections with people and the world around me. Conversations that blur boundaries and shape values.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled the country for 8 months living in a van and working as an educational puppeteer.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you all sorts of things, but mainly we will focus our efforts on twerkshops. Let's be honest, everyone could use an ass lesson.

We would love to learn from and share anything with you that your beautiful imagination can come up with. Art party anyone? Let's get crafty.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll wash your dishes and do your laundry while you sip on a bomb ass cocktail I shook up fresh. Riley will then win your cat's heart and cut sweet designs in your favorite old t-shirt and I'll serenade you with a new song I wrote on my banjo about your favorite childhood memory. Apologies in advance if Riley's presence makes your animal briefly forget you exist.
