Hi!
My name is Kelsie. I’m 25 years old and from the United States. I just spent an amazing 9 months living and teaching English in Bilbao, Spain. I'm now currently traveling around Europe! I graduated from university in 2015 and have done absolutely nothing with my degree because I discovered that traveling is the true love of my life and have pursued that ever since. I've taught English in Thailand, was a pizza slinging queen in the majestic mountains of the Grand Teton National Park, and now I'm teaching English again. My journey has only just begun and I look forward to meeting like minded people and hearing people's stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I finally had my first Couchsurfing experience not long ago and it was great so I can't wait to do it again! I'm looking to have new experiences and see a city more through the eyes of a local and swap stories and travel tips! I always want to push myself to go out of my comfort zone and I think Couchsurfing is a great way to do so and realize how many good natured people are still out there in this crazy world.
