Hello! 🙂

My name is Kati (Katarina) - 29 years old, wild-hearted, free never-grown up kiddo and crazy spirited fairy.
I would say, I am the endless dreamer - so full of ideas and with so little time to bring them all to life. :D

I was born in a little town located in beautiful hilly part of Slovakia, Europe - so I was surrounded by mountains my whole life. That brought me to enjoy spending my time by hiking, running, relaxing in Nature as much as possible.

I love animals of all kinds and shapes (not including the blood sucking insects :D). I am more than happy to have my two dog companions - adopted x-labradors, Ben and Conie, and fluffy south-american chinchilla, Eliade. Also I am successfully dominated by my cat Mashta, who found me on a street and ever since I am kindly allowed to live in his house. :D

I adore gifts from nature - fresh air, pure water, trees and flowers to watch, fruits and vegetables, etc.

I very often get deeply impressed and over-excited, coz damn!!! There is so much beauty everywhere! :))

I value the kindness and creativity of people and I tend to see the good in everyone and everything.

Creativity, adventures and new experiences, time in Nature, meeting good people and hugging every animal I come across is my fuel for life.

Since I got into hands the first camera as a lil kiddo, I did not stop photographing everything :D which brought me to work as a photographer.

With my partner Patrik we love to travel and experience adventures together on regular basis, so in 4 years spent together we have already seen quite a lot. :) We usually spend our trips walking/backpacking or on our Ford Transit camper van named Winnieford. :)

I can write here for another 100 years, so better gonna stop myself.

SEE YOU! 😋

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet other people, especially locals when traveling, because I think it is the best way to share and experience fully the true spirit of some place on this fabulous planet. Who can teach you the most about the place, if not the one, who lives there? Also, it is great to save up some money on accommodations, coz then there is more left for actual adventuring, wohoo! :D

And as an introverted person I offer deep meaningful conversations combined with occasional awkward silence and terribly timed bad jokes ...
