Hello! My name is Kelly and I love walking, hiking, running, reading, writing, drawing, painting... I love a lot of different things! I love walking through museums and discovering new artists. I love discovering new cities by foot. I love asking questions and having deep conversations, as well as silly ones too. I love relaxing at the beach as well as working very hard to get a job done. I so enjoy meeting people from different cultures and countries, and exchanging stories and life-experiences. I love tasting new cuisine, going on adventures, and making friendships along the way.

I like to think of myself as a good listener. I really care about people, and I always want to hear what others are doing in their life.

The goal of life, I think, is to love—to love our neighbors, to love strangers who we are meeting for the first time, and to love even those that don't like us very much. So, I strive each and every day to love better than the day before.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think it is an amazing way to meet people who are open, charitable and sincere. I also think that Couchsurfing enables one to explore a new city or town in an extremely intimate way. Nothing beats exploring some place new than having a local show you around.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: I'm a pretty well-rounded movie-lover. I love everything from old, black and white classics to musicals. From indie movies found in film festivals to hollywood films. Here are some of my favorites: The Matrix, The Newsies, Slumdog Millionaire, Rear Window, Bringing up Baby, On the Town.

Music: I pretty much love all genres except for metal and hardcore rap. Andy Grammer, Matt Kearney, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and James Blunt are artists that I never get tired of listening to their music.

Books: The Robe, by Lloyd Douglas. The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Jumped out of the Window and Disappeared, by Jonas Jonasson.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I am an au pair for one year in France, just across the border from Switzerland! I am taking care of three children, and this year has been full of SO MANY adventures!
