My name is Kelsey and I'm a New York based Artist/Photographer/Writer who works seasonally for the National Park Service at Fire Island National Seashore.

I am deeply interested in people and the way we interact with our environment. You can see/read my work online at my website: kelseysucena.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an artist I am interested in meeting new people, seeing new places and having new experiences, I'm couchsurfing because I want to see the country and make new work. Help me and I promise it wont go to waste!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and an avid listener of folk/indie music. My favorite book is the Dharma Bums by Kerouac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most people are excited to hear that I'm a Park Ranger but the work that really inspires me is photography. My senior project "The Circumstances of Existence" is the most amazing thing that I would say I have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am deeply interested in meeting intelligent and open minded people. I can hold my own in any conversation regarding nature, parks, photography, poetry, art, history, politics, science, economics, gender studies, religion, spirituality, environmentalism, and so on. I would love to hear about you and your interests too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't have much to share tangibly but I do love a good conversation. If you agree to host me you'll be helping me to produce new work (photographic or poetic) and if you're comfortable standing in front of a camera you might find yourself become part of that work too!
