Description

Hi my name is Kt, and I love to travel. I currently work at a trade school teaching high school students. During my free time I have a few different interests: working weekly at a cat shelter and training new volunteers, preserving a historic house locally and hosting events to fund it's preservation, as well as teaching community/kids courses at the local collage. In the past, I have worked with service dogs (training and site work), trail horses (as a guide and farm hand), and people with disabilities (as a camp counselor). As a teacher, my schedule allows me to travel during the summer. I hope to work with the community and animals while seeing culture and beautiful architecture.

One of the best experiences I could've wished for. Staying with Alex and Julian for seven weeks over the summer was wonderful. The cultural experience was every day as we would explore a different parts of town for different daily needs. However, the family experience was much more valuable to me. The hosts were very easy to get along with and … read more

KT stayed with us for most of the summer before she had to return to teaching her high school class in August.

I learned pack mentality with the dogs and really worked on understanding around 100 dogs and their individual behavior. Don't be afraid to get dusty or dirty as the summer months are hot and dry. I was at the rescue … read more
