ABOUT ME

I've always tried to live life by seizing each and every opportunity.

My husband (boyfriend at the time) Evan, and I decided late one night while sitting around the kitchen table that we ought to just get married and travel the world. So we did. We have since moved to the other side of Canada and continue to plan adventures when we can, while working the 9-5.

Kate Likes:

- collecting records
- cooking/entertaining
- climbing, hiking and all things physical activity

Evan Likes:

-competitive running and crossfit
-arguing with Kate about good tunes
-gross beer that no one else drinks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had a few opportunities to couch surf, but I also enjoy hosting where I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a brilliant concept. I was an exchange student 3 different times in middle and high school. Being an exchange student changed my life in ways I can never explain, and my hosts had a lot to do with that. I have had so many unique experiences that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
