Meet Kat Jenkins
Kaeo, Far North/Te Hiku, Aotearoa-New Zealand
In September 2019, I realised the long-held ambition to own a lifestyle block.
I moved into an onsite cabin with my partner Richard, our 3 rescued wild cats, and a small flock of chickens.
This website is a diary of our adventures over that time. What I'm growing, the things I'm learning, the ups and the downs.
Richard
Kat and Richard met like any modern couple, on Tinder in 2016. After a year of long-distance romance, we moved into our first shared home in Waipu in 2017.
Richard is a small-motor mechanic, working in a local shop in Waipapa.
He's in charge of all the machines—helpful on a lifestyle block! Having him around means things get done a little quicker.
His special talent is his ease with all animals. Kat calls him Doctor Doolittle, and it's one of the reasons she fell for him.
Work with Kat
I'm open to writing reviews, collaborations, and content sponsorship with businesses and creators in the gardening, small farming, permaculture, and rural lifestyle spaces.
If you think you've got an idea that fits the bill, check the Work With Kat page for more information.
