Hi! My name is Kelsey. I'm the classic traveler who got a taste of it in Costa Rica way back when and never stopped. I am currently taking a gap "year" in between college and the "real world." I'm hoping to go around the world and see where the wind takes me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I like to travel to lots of places, but I also like to meet lots of people and understand my surroundings. For me, to stay with locals or getting to chat to the people makes a trip into an experience. You can quote me on that... I'm working on my book ;) But I absolutely love to talk and listen to other people and their life/travel stories.

Couchsurfing made my previous travel adventure possible. The kindness of everyone is unmatched anywhere. I am super grateful for couchsurfing!
