Hello ! My name is Kelsey and I'm currently living the ex-pat life in the lovely South of France. I love humanity and my religion is natural beauty- if there is a god, it's the sky here...have you looked UP ??

I'm happy, positive, silly, curious, empathetic...a lover, a sensitive old-soul, a bit nostalgic. I speak quietly, but I am very confident in my words. I want to meet you and learn from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've already met some great people that referred me to couchsurfing that seem to be likeminded free spirits. I want to share adventures with the kindness and humanity out there ! I know it still exists.

Also because I'm short on cash, but not poor in spirit- haha! I mean that I don't have a lot of money to spend on hostels & hotels, but I can pay with personality in spades! I am a mean cook too- my grandma taught me everything I know & I will make you the best southern style cookin you've ever had.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure if I've done anything extra amazing yet, actually...in my 22 years I have been very privileged. I've grown a lot in the past 4 since leaving my hometown and traveling...landing in some great places and meeting wonderful people. I like to call myself a jr. adult because I still feel like I'm figuring it all out. I'm grateful for a supportive family. Sometimes we don't see eye to eye, but I know that ultimately I am very very lucky...I hope to dedicate the next 22 to doing something great for others and making the world better. THAT would be amazing !

Teach, Learn, Share

yes, please, extra please ?? this is a confusing box.

teach & share seem to go with the next question so I'll write what I'd like to learn...

I have always wanted to learn to drive a manual car...I want to learn to play the drums too, but I think I'm too bashful to be that loud. Also how to make sushi ??

What I Can Share with Hosts

like I said ^^ I can make you some really good food. and I love doing dishes. I will do all of your dishes. I know tons of fun drinking games & I'm an extra fun person to bring to a party. I can style you, do your hair/nails/makeup...pick out a perfect playlist. I can make a pretty tasty cocktail too, if I do say so myself...xxoo
