Kate's Blog

I’m Kate (Katarina) and I was born in Belgrade, Serbia but I moved to Vancouver right before the NATO bombings. I grew up in a very traditional Eastern-European family with lots and lots and lots of delicious food. My mom still calls me at least 3 times a day to inquire about what I’ve eaten and ask if I’m hungry. I’ve become a really good cook and can whip up a meal with barely any groceries in the fridge!

Although friends and acquaintances try to convince me that my English is prefect, I’m still self-conscious of my “accent” and inability to differentiate my V’s and W’s. All this aside, I’m planning to attend law school after getting my French degree.

Since I visit my family in Serbia often, last summer I extended my trip and backpacked through most of Europe visiting 13 countries in 2 months. Despite a lengthy VISA bill and spending 24 hours in a Czech train without air conditioning (in July), I had an amazing experience and I can’t wait to plan my future trip to Thailand.

Also, I love snowboarding, yoga and occasionally picking up my guitar in hopes of actually learning some chords…
