Hi! I'm Kelsea. I recently finished my undergrad in international relations and business and am taking the year to travel the world.

I believe life is about creating yourself so I am starting to do just that. I've started in India to learn about yoga and spirituality, and will make my way across Europe this summer to attend a sustainability and entrepreneurship conference in Copenhagen before landing in Shanghai to teach English for a year. I am very excited to be taking the time to learn about new cultures, see beautiful sites, and take the time to learn more about different views, people, and myself, and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, I originally registered because my summer plans have changed since leaving home and I am now seeking somewhere to crash in London, Paris and Amsterdam. After reading so many profiles I am mostly excited about meeting different people, sharing stories, and learning about different ways of life.

*i cannot host right now but will be happy to once I get home to Toronto next year!*

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 200 hr yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what this section is for but I can teach yoga or teach you how to bake bread; I can teach you about a few major effects of climate change on biodiversity and livelihoods, or how to garden. I want to learn about your culture, and I'd like to share stories over a cup of coffee or a pint ! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking, a few tunes if you have a guitar, and my yoga teaching. I can also share a few laughs and hopefully a few good stories! :)
