Who is Kath?
I am 26 years old, I live in Durban, South Africa. I grew up in Pietermaritzburg, had a pretty standard upbringing (all considered). I got into rock climbing in high school, which I continued up until when I was 24 and hurt my back, which made climbing difficult. I now surf and ride bikes more than I climb. My love of the outdoors pretty much dictated how I lived, where I travelled and what I studied.
Education:
I studied at Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape, I started off studying Journalism and Environmental Science, but had to choose between the two because of curriculum clashes. I chose enviro, and completed my degree with an Honours in Geography.
