Hi! My name is Kelsey. You can call me Kels. I am an avid traveler--having lived in China, explored SE Asia, spent time in India, Brazil, and Japan with Europe coming up this year! I am also an awesome buddy to travel with. I ride motorcycles all over the US, with the intent to cover the country and then move on to round-the-world trips.
My number one thing when I'm adventuring is to enjoy the journey as well as be safe and cautious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love making connections with people who share the kindred spirit of adventure. I think the best way to immerse oneself in a culture is to get to know the locals in your travels and couchsurfing/hanging out is the best way to do that!

-Traveling (obviously)
-Motorcycles

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a remote city in China for a year just because I could.

Teach, Learn, Share

-I'm here to be a good steward of the world--teach inspiration to those seeking it by just doing what you love.

-I want to learn about cultural customs, languages, and any skills someone would love to teach me (like making a signature dish from their country or area)

-I want to share stories and adventures and for you to share yours with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share food--I'm a great cook (I'll happily cook ya a meal). I can share an easy going sense of humor, stories, and if I have a skill you wanna learn that I apparently have, I'd love to teach you!
