Hi! My name is Kelly!

Free Palestine, Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Anti-ICE. Anti-Trump.

I live in Seattle with my partner Alex and our dog Mars.

I’m a mental health counselor who works primarily with queer, trans, neurodivergent folks doing feminist and anti-oppression based therapy. I also for the past couple years have had a side job as a zipline guide.

In my off time, I spend all my free time mountaineering, backcountry skiing, hiking, climbing, kayaking, snowshoeing, etc and getting outside anyway I can. Always seeking the next adventure.

I prefer a vegan diet, but I have no problem with others enjoying whatever diet they prefer.

I don’t smoke or drink.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and having the opportunity to build connections with people. Learning about them and their culture first hand is a privilege. The kindness, openness, and trust involved in Couchsurfing makes me excited to be involved in this community. The people are what make the place. I'm interested in knowing about the local experience and culture and not just the tourist market.

教，学，和分享

I love getting outside any way I can. If you have any questions about the PNW, where to get gear, places to see, or backcountry skills, I’d be more than happy to trade trail tips. I’d love to share the Washington lifestyle with you!

I have road tripped across the United States multiple times. If you are planning on visiting or wonder about the people, places, or culture of the US I am more than happy to share what I know though I am only one person and don’t represent everyone.

Can share about the current fascism in the US ✨

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Mostly my own experiences, life in the US, outdoor knowledge, spontaneity, and interest. I also like to try and bring a small treat/souvenir from wherever I'm coming from before.
