Hi! I'm Keely, and 19-year-old from the west coast of Washington State, near Seattle. I'm currently traveling during my gap year before I pursue medicine. I went to France and Italy last year, and I'm back in Europe exploring the UK and Netherlands before flying home in June. I enjoy cooking (though especially baking), reading, watercolor painting, and so many others. I especially love learning. As long as I have a good teacher (person or book), I'm happy to discover any subject.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet unique and wonderful people who can give me more of an insider perspective on the city. Moving someplace new can be difficult, especially since I speak little French, so having someone to give me their take, maybe show me a couple of their favorite spots would be great.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I'm always on the hunt for more music to love, but I gravitate towards indie rock, classic rock, funk, and some classical. Lately, I'm been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd and Lake Street Dive.
I don't watch a lot of movies, but some TV shows I love are The Irregulars, Sense8, Star Trek: Next Gen, and, of course, ATLA.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

The mouthwash Listerine was named after Dr. Joseph Lister, the doctor and surgeon who pioneered the use of sterile and antiseptic environments in the surgical field to prevent postoperative complications. Lister's seminar that inspired the creation of Listerine was also attended by the Johnson brothers, who went on to found the sterile bandage company Johnson and Johnson.

Grey whales are benthic filter feeders, meaning they scoop up sand and mud from the ocean floor and filter it through their baleen, leaving just the delicious little critters behind. The pits they leave in the sand from feeding are big enough to be seen by satellite!

Cooking and baking for both eating and learning. Excellent listening skills, good company, and decent conversation.
