CURRENT MISSION

Live a meaningful and enriched life.

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Katherine but known as KC or Kat for short. I am 26 and currently live in Perth, Western Australia. I grew up here but have lived in Spain for a total of 4 months and London for just under 1.5 years. I have travelled around Europe by myself and also with my boyfriend Luke. I am now back in Australia working as a freelance musician and singing teacher. I love Perth, especially in the summer - there is no summer quite like one here I have to say - but I do miss the European lifestyle and being so close to other countries (Perth is the most isolated city in the world).

I am very easy going, LOVE travelling, music and open to meeting new people, learning about their culture and having fun.

I began began my travels in mid 2011 and has so far been to France (where I travelled for a month soloto improve my french), Germany and Spain. I currently speak intermediate conversational french but would like to become fluent before I move to Paris to live in the next few years.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice what you preach and you will reap what you sow.
