My name is Kelly I am 24 years old and a graduate from penn state. I studied criminal justice and was hoping to pursue a degree in law but after one semester at Brooklyn law school realized it wasn't for me. Now I am currently living the gypsy life and work here and there. I have lived all over the United States. I was born in Florida but have lived all over the state. I have also lived in Alabama, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New York, and Nevada. I also taught overseas in Dubai, UAE for a little over a year. Two summers ago I got to volunteer in South Africa as well in a local township just outside of Muizenburg. I am a very easy going person and also open to new possibilities and all types of people from different walks of life. I am not judgmental and accepting of whatever lifestyle people live as long as they give me the same respect in regards to my choices. I like to think that I am a fun person, I have a pretty good sense of humor but I am sarcastic just to warn you. So that is a few tidbits about me, hope you enjoyed reading.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love to travel and have been fortunate to do so throughout my life. However, that was always on my parent's dime. I now have to pay for myself so I don't have the luxury of a lot of my parent's money to support me on my trips. So I am hoping to find visit some places that my parents have always been against visiting. I want to explore these new places, learning exciting cultures and meeting cool people along the way.

Centres d'intérêt

I am an avid fan of music. I have been singing since the eighth grade and I have a varied and eclectic taste when it comes to different genres and artists that I listen to. I love movies from old to new and watch some foreign films also which has become a rather new interest of mine. I like to try new things and seek adventure wherever I am. My next adventure I hope to cross of my bucket list is skydiving. I really like to cook and experiment with different recipes, I am actually pretty decent. I can not bake at all though which is a shame because I love desserts. I love to travel! I have most of Southern and Western countries of Europe crossed off of my list, but I really want to venture outside of my comfort zone, to other countries and other parts of the world.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I would say volunteering and teaching overseas was pretty amazing. Observing a new culture and getting to see these children learn everyday and develop as human beings was very rewarding.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am not sure what this section is asking for but I guess what I could offer is is to teach English or singing if anyone is interested in either of those. I am pretty good at history as well so I could teach some basic history of the United States. I would love to learn from others their languages and how they see the world. As I do believe each one of us experience something different and therefore have something to offer others because our own views have been shaped in different ways.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share my fun easing going attitude. My curiousness for other cultures and new experiences. My adventurous attitude. My love for my own country. My own interests which may differ from theirs and my willingness to learn about theirs.
