Description
Hello there! I’m Kat :) I am from the UK and I have been travelling a great majority of my life! I have a great love for music and a very eclectic taste, so whatever you’re into, I can bet that I am too! I play the guitar and love a good sing-a-long. I am an artistic soul and my specialty is painting and sculpture! I have a FdBc Degree in Fine Art at Bath Spa University. I’m a hard working, positive, young woman who is ready to get her hands dirty! I love to have deep conversations and expand my knowledge. Any job given to me, I will complete with a smile on my face.

More details about your skills
Regarding artistic work -
I have had so amazing opportunities to paint murals around the world! I have studied Fine Art in school achieving the highest grade A* and then Contemporary Arts Practice in University achieving a Foundation Bachelors Degree. Creating art is my biggest passion and I would absolutely love to share my work with you.

Regarding work in Hostels/Guesthouses - I have extensive experience working in hospitality around the world. My jobs included cleaning, check ins/outs, offering tours and trips round the local areas and making friends with the guests and generally having a good time! I love to meet people and I find working in this environment helps!

Regarding work with animals - I have worked in stables in Canada and my jobs included mucking out, grooming the horses and looking after the host’s house. I’ve had experience working in donkey sanctuaries in the UK, conservation work off the coast of Cuyutlán and working in a turtle sanctuary with iguanas and crocodiles in Armería, Mexico. During my time in Austria working at a hotel, I also had the privilege of looking after 2 wonderful dogs. I have also had my own dog for the past 14 years.

Regarding Child-Minding - I come from a huge family with lots of younger children so I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, young children and kids under the age of 10.

Regarding General Maintenance - If you need a cleaner, cook, house-sitter, gardener or someone to help with general office work - You’ve come to the right place. I do every job to the best of my ability with a smile on my face.

Regarding Companionship - The whole reason why I travel is to meet people. If you’re simply looking for someone to help around the house and be part of the family, I would be absolutely honoured to join in. Family is the most important thing in life and to be welcomed into yours would be amazing.

I have also housesat in Canada for one month and in Portugal for one week.
Age
23
What else ...
I love to surround myself in nature. Nothing is more therapeutic than being surrounded by a beautiful landscape.

It’s taken me 5 months to write this review and I’m still struggling to find the words to describe just how wonderful this experience was. The hostel itself is located in a great part on Lake Atitlan. There is so much to do and explore and you’re right in the heart of everything going on. There are events going on in the hostel every night so… read more

This place was an absolute wonder to work in! It's a very social hostel with events happening every night. I ended up falling I'll after a few days and the staff were extremely helpful and caring towards me. After recovering I ended up having a fab time working behind the bar meeting so many friends.

Kat was an amazing volunteer and person! I am so thankful for her positive attitude energy. She was a wonderful attribute to our team and always went above and beyond what she was asked.

Kat is an extremely sincere, fun and caring person. She always was an absolute pleasure to be around. The other volunteers and staff really enjoyed working and living with her. Beyond her good work ethic and wonderful personality she is a talented artist. Thank you for leaving an impression on us all as well as on the walls of our hostel.

It's been a week since I left and I'm still heartbroken over the fact I had to leave. Andrew has created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I couldn't be more grateful. I don't believe I spent a single day at the hostel without feeling overwhelmed with love and happiness. The work was so enjoyable and I even got to share my art with them. Thank… read more

I stayed here for a month and had a fab time! I was thrilled to be in such an artistic community where I could display my artwork.

My stay at the place was incredible. I made so many friends during my 2 week stay and I'm so thankful for it! I was able to paint a wonderful mural inside the hostel and I felt so appreciated every single day. Before my painting started I would help out at breakfast and it was very enjoyable! I was able to practise my Spanish talking to the guests… read more

I was given the privilege to paint a massive mural and I loved every second of it! The staff there were so extremely lovely and the location of the hostel is perfect! You are a 3 minute walk directly onto the beach and a 5 minute drive to the nearest town San Bartolo (which is gorgeous to say the least!) Other than painting the work is very easy.… read more

Kat is a beautifull young lady with a very kind heart. She was helping us so much here whenever we need and left a very nice paint by herself. She was very comunicating even with the girls here who are not very good in English. We had fund and enjoy our time with Kat and recommend any place to host her.

Suhail was SUCH a perfect host and I stayed with him for 1 month. He is located in the best position to travel around Toronto and when he is not at work he is so willing to show you around and show you the sights. He has a very comfortable home and you get a lot of privacy. Suhail and I would go out every once in a while to cool bars and pubs… read more

Kat was a volunteer here on the farm like no other.
