Hi! I'm Katie. I live in Rhode Island and I love my home and love to travel. I love to make things and I love to grow things. I enjoy excellent coffee and crafty beer, meeting and connecting with new people from all over and hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to take an epic road trip south then west to end up at Arches National Park in Utah! Looking to put some strike marks on my bucket list along the way. Talking to local people about the place that they live and love makes it all the better!
