Hometown
Ostrava, Czech Republic
Before RED
I studied Biomedical Engineering. I spent 3 summers at a camp in the US (working as an office assistant, camp counselor and ropes course supervisor). I got Working Holiday visa in Canada and decided to come to Vancouver. So here I am.
Fun fact
No one actually calls me Katerina. We consider it too official in Czech. There are around 35 nicknames you can make by changing my name a little bit (I can show you the list). But most people call me Kach.
Also my name in Czech is written as Kateřina. It contains a letter 'ř' which doesn't exist in any other language in the world and it's really hard to pronounce.
Best travel experience
I have a lot of great memories while traveling. The best ones usually involve having a great time with my family/friends as well as some crazy stories. My favorite are these:
- Family vacation in Thailand
- Westcoast roadtrip in the US
- New Year's trip to Rome
Countries I would love to visit
- Peru
- Australia & New Zeland
- Iceland
- Cambodia
Secret talent
I have a secret talent of burning my hair when I make a fire. It happened to me three times during the summer when I was teaching outdoor cooking classes.
Goals after RED
- Becoming a front-end developer
- Trying to work as a freelancer
- Travel around the world - my next destination would be South America or Australia
- Write a book
