ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Kate. I'm currently living in London and looking to do more traveling. I write a lot, and I'm into learning languages. I've been studying Arabic here in London, and I've recently leaned French. I'm trying to figure out the best way to give an impression of me...I guess I'm the one drinking coffee in the cafe, wandering around town, and talking to people I some across while wandering. In terms of living situations, I am an excellent guest because I love living in a community and meeting new people, but I am also not a bother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cook with people. I share what I observe. I'm generous. Oh, and I think most importantly, I'm a great listener.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Paris recently, and I absolutely loved it. It opened doors for me–I met knew people, increased my language skills, and learned so much from my hosts. I've spent time traveling and staying with people I met along the way...I've lived at Shakespeare & Co in Paris, and I've spent time traveling in the Middle East, where I stayed as a guest in peoples' homes.
