Hi everyone! My name is Katie and I love travelling and experiencing different cultures and ways of life! I graduated from university last year (with a degree specializing in Neuroscience and Family and Child Studies) and am taking a couple of years off between degrees to experience the world! I aspire to be a midwife and feel very passionate about helping women, queer people, and children through my work. I am learning French at the moment so I am excited for the opportunity to practice my French. I love the outdoors, especially beautiful water, trees and mountains. I love any type of adventure. I am looking forward to meeting new people, improving my language skills, learning about new cultures, learning new skills, and exploring the world. I love crafty activities, such as painting, scrapbooking and crocheting. I am a very positive, energetic person, which is reflected in my willingness to work hard and try new things.
