About Me
Hi! My name is Katherine but I go by Kasia. I am from Califronia and am hoping to do WorkAway in France so as to practice my french (and to keep learning it). I love to talk, cook, play games, read, hike/spend time outdoors, learn new things, and am always open to help out. I am taking the semester off from university after having studied abroad in Lyon this past fall, but will continue with my studies in psychology, education and french upon my return to the US this fall. I look forward to new experiences, learning more about french life and culture, and practicing my french while meeting new people!
This is a blog that I started recently about my travels - go ahead and read it to get a better idea about what I've been up to or who I am!
