CURRENT MISSION

Wandering around this beautiful world

ABOUT ME

I'm kelsey. Like everybody else, I'm just trying to make sense out of this crazy and utterly beautiful life. I tend to do so in searching for meaning and real moments. I laugh a lot. I love a lot.

Independence, creativity and personal growth are all very important to me, and of course travelling is a big passion of mine as well ;)

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books ill never be tested on. I want to paint because i want to, not because ive got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite. "

PHILOSOPHY

Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love CSing! I've done it in a few countries around the world now and nothing beats it. Being welcomed with open arms into a locals home; someone with a completely different life and story whos willing to share it with you, is so special to me. I hope that I can have as much of an impact on others lives as they've had on me.
