Katherina Audley spent most of her late adolescence hitchhiking and busing around the US and Canada. After receiving a degree in Ancient Religion from UC Berkeley, Katherina went to Crete to apply it. Unable to find relevant work, she became a go go dancer instead. After a year in Greece, Katherina hitchhiked to Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands, where she spent a year learning about the timeshare industry and the shadier sides of Spain and Morocco. Upon her return to the United States, Katherina worked in publishing and at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Her wanderlust once again got the better of her in 2001, when she began making a series of extended visits to Latin America, culminating in a 9 month overland traverse of South America from Tierra del Fuego to Cartagena. Katherina now lives and writes in Portland, Oregon. Her work has been published in numerous anthologies and online publications including: Seal Press' Greece: A Love Story, Voice Catcher and 52PerfectDays.com.
