Hi I'm Kelly! I grew up in South Africa and have lived in Canada for the last four years. I've studied media and communications and interactive media design. Right now I'm figuring things out working mostly as a web designer and tree planter. I do stick and poke tattoos and have just gotten into film photography.

I love to travel, explore and learn. I love being outdoors, camping, looking for animals, drinking beer and swimming in the ocean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to travel and experience places as a local, I feel like Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do this and to meet great people!
