I am here for Friends

About Me


Happy, peaceful, lots of smiles, always wanting to learn, grow, understand myself and the world better through experience.

Vipassana meditation and the path of Dhamma are a massive part of my life and how I live.

I'm living for freedom, creativity, hope, integrity, personal truth, moments of revelation, understanding and happiness. I'm blessed to have the life that I do!

I believe it is in our ability to truly, unconditionally and compassionately love each other that we hold our true strength. My path is to try each day to be open to this truth and to help others do the same. Metta, Katherine :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Quirky is cool, as long as it's accompanied by compassion. Smart people with a sense of modesty. Kind people. People who know when to take themselves seriously and when to laugh at themselves. Others on the path of Dhamma.

The littlest hobo

In the past 4 and a half years I have moved house 13 times. 13 times! That's an average of one move every 4 months (for those of you who are remotely interested). An old friend used to jokingly cal...

Being brave

The concept of bravery has been on my mind tonight...it's easy to commend the obvious and extreme acts of bravery that we see and hear about in society, but this is a little shout out of praise t...
