Hey there! My name is Kelli and I have a cat. He's roughly 20 lbs.

I grew up in the PNW and I genuinely enjoy meeting new people. If I'm out and about with friends, I'm bound to talk to at least one stranger. I love getting lost in nature, boulder as much as I can, and collect random art. I've used CS a ton and enjoy helping out travelers when I can. If I can't host I'll be happy to at least send you some suggestions!

P.S. To all the people who keep sending me friend requests: this isn't Facebook. I'm not adding you as a friend. All that does is create a fake sense of security for the strangers meeting up with you, and I'm not vouching for your character when I don't know you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To network and make friends abroad! If you are visiting town, hit me up! Even if I can't host I'd love to grab coffee and some food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking Europe, Japan, South Korea, And SEA for 11 months mostly solo.

My first year going to a DMB concert I touched Dave Matthews' hand when he came to the front of the stage and handed me a guitar pick. I cried.

Learning how to do jumps on a snowboard.

Going to the World Bodypainting Festival!

I won a trip to Hawaii for the Color Run and it was an amazing experience! Did some snorkeling and thought we might get washed out to sea, and tried tandem paragliding. Would love to go back one day.

Hot air balloon ride in Arizona.

Diving the USS Liberty shipwreck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic bouldering skills, basic hacky sack skills, basic poi skills, how to play a mean game of chess, and of course English. :p I can also teach you random facts about cats, if you want haha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I'm fun, haha. I'm really laid back and enjoy going with the flow. I'm down for random adventures and always up for meeting new people. I always have a positive attitude and I think people enjoy being around me because of that. :)
