Well, I don't have one. I have a camping pad and a blanket and pillows. I live two blocks from Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, BC. I have a very tiny place and will only host you if you are super cool and it feels right.

NEWST UPDATE: I'm finally living in Vancouver! Hooray! 5 days of driving down from Whitehorse and we are here. I found a room for rent in the coolest house in town. My mom found a room for rent in the second coolest house in town. Its perfect! Now to enroll in school and find a job :)
Currently I'm living with mom in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada. Left Portland, OR to live in Canada where I also have citizenship. Living here to help my mom move down to Vancouver to live with me. We'll be getting a place for the winter, I'll stay for college and she's going to find a cabin in the woods.
I love Karaoke, bicycles, bike racing, cooking, decaf drip coffee, any kind of food, people, sunshine.
I've given up a long time love of photography. I lost interest and am pursuing other activities, college, cycling and of course fun...
How I Participate in CS
I did a lot of hosting when I had my own little apartment in Memphis, TN.. Met lots of super cool people, made wonderful friends...
CouchSurfing Experience
I've hosted the BBC when they came through town filming a reality TV show called "The 500 pound challenge". The gist of the movie was to send a British celebrity on a trip with only 500 dollars. So on their "Deep South" episode, they were looking for cheap and free accomadations and found Couchsurfing and me. I picked them up at the airport and cooked them dinner. Quite fun!
I've surfed in LA, SF, Seattle and thats the extent of my surfing experiences so far.
I've hosted many people since i've been here in Memphis. I love couchsurfing!!!!!

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project
Couchsurfing is the coolest way for people to travel inexpensively, meet really neat people, and have unique stories to tell.
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Kellen's been through my place twice now, and I can't wait til next time. He's not only a crazily talented photographer, but he knows about 800 jokes that he can summon up at will. He's also a wildman on the dance floor, so I recommend not only that you host him, but that you make some good time to hang out with the guy while he's in your town. And of course if you're in Portland I'm sure he'd be a superb host!

Kellen provided my traveling group and I a wonderful place to stay in a beautiful part of Vancouver BC for a couple nights and we really appreciated it. He also showed us around and gave us lots of tips on how to get places and where to go! I also know him from when he lived in Portland...he's super terrific!
Kellen was a great guest. Both Mike and he cooked a fabulous dinner together... we especially loved the tofu a la nutritional yeast. He is an inspiring man with a great sense of humour and joie de vie. He is a must on your couch!

If you are in over your head, Kellen is a good guy to have on your side! Easy going and helpful.
Kellan is very positive and ambitious. He's also a great photographer, he even showed me some cool face tricks.
It was a blast hanging out with you Kellan, we were definitely partying like rockstars for a Wednesday night. I enjoyed your dinner stories over sushi, or in your case, ramen. The comedy show was pretty awesome and who can forget your Bohemian Rhapsody song, it was pretty memorable. I'm sure you've acquired some fans in that bar. ;)
I met this gent on the dance floor - or, more precisely, on pavement at a Salsa dancing festival. He was a vibrant, silly dance partner, and delightful to spend time with. I took his Salsa dancing virginity! Yee haw! We've since met for a housewarming party and a bit of Karaoke and another round of Salsa dancing... His roommate, Aiden, is a gentleman and I enjoyed our short time visiting. And if you want to make Kellen happy, take him out to Karaoke!
I'm so glad Kellen stopped by my place on his way across the Northwest! He's a wonderful person, a talented photographer, and a lively spirit. We had a great time discussing life and travel, listening to my mom's Peruvian folk band, and wandering around Spokane. It was a pleasure having him around and I would not hesitate to host him again! See you soon (in Portland?)!
What a treat to share time with Kellen! He is a precious spirit.

Kellan was my first couchsurfing guest, and I have to say that it was an excellent experience! I wish there had been more to do here, but I had fun with him, especially all the pictures he took of me.....By the way....he is an excellent photographer! A real professional!!
