Hey my name is Kelsey! I'm 21 years old and a college student. I am trying to get out and see as much of the world before I am tied down with a job! I am studying biology and am planning on becoming a Physician Assistant after graduation. I am very passionate about medicine and helping others. I live a very active lifestyle and love to travel! My hobbies include hiking, hammocking, and swimming. I LOVE going on adventures and experiencing new things.

I am graduating this upcoming May and am planning on taking a trip to Europe for about 3 weeks. I think that talking to/ staying with locals is the best way to get the full experience that I am looking for. I had lodging planned in Amsterdam but it fell through so if anyone would be willing to host me for a night or two, I would really appreciate it! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love traveling, exploring new places, and meeting new people! I am looking for places to stay and also people who could give me advice on my trip to Europe! I would love to have people stay and couchsurf at my house as well. I love the idea of people who have a love of traveling making it easier/ possible for others to have a chance to explore the world! I don't think that the expensive cost of hotels should be something that prohibits people from traveling. I love that there is a website that is full of kind hearted individuals who would like to help strangers! :)
