Personal Description¡Hola amigos! My name is Kelly and I presently live in Bend, Oregon working for Young Life and feel I can now call it home! I love the Lord, people, dogs, the great outdoors, crazy adventures, coffee, traveling, good clean random fun, and of course gravy! I don't believe in strangers and love how everyone is so unique! It almost overwhelms me. Every now and then I want to quit whatever I am presently doing and pursue my life long dream of becoming a professional dancer (salsa, hip-hop, swing, anything really, even interpretive). I enjoy a cold beer on a hot day, thats the wisconsin country girl in me and I love sweet thrift store finds! I am not easily embarrassed, I still sleep with a stuffed animal, and love to laugh!How I Participate in CS¡mi sofa es tu sofa!CouchSurfing ExperienceGreat so far..and have a feeling will only get better! Ireland here I come!InterestsThe Great Outdoors,climbing, gravy, camping, getting caught singing in my car, Traveling, sarcasim, Music, cheese, pillows, Movies, hot baths, Animals, polka dots, Spanish, globes, coffee shops, Dancing, picture booths, YoungLife, sudoku, Crazy friends, snail mail, parks, and basketball (NCAA)!!! In short..."She's a Saturday out on the town.
Church girl on Sunday. A cross around her neck and a cuss word cause it's Monday".
Philosophy"Someone who is now long dead once wrote, the world is a book and those who don't travel only read one page. What no one tells you is that the book is no easy read. There is one thing that I can say; whatever it is that you are looking for - beauty, salvation, enlightenment, danger or just to disappear, this is only a fraction of what you'll find. I am just trying to read the whole book."Music, Movies, BooksBook: Redeeming Love
Movies: Goonies, Dirty Dancing, Empire Records
Music: Country, Singer song writer, anything I can dance to!Types of People I enjoyPeople that enjoy people and that live life to the full!Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Canada, Costa Rica, England, France, Greece, Ireland (Republic of), Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Portugal, Switzerland
LIVED: Spain
What do these numbers mean?
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. References (11)11Positive 0Neutral 0Negative

 From Alison McGee Pittsfield, United States
Apr 27, 2010  Positive Kelly hosted me and my friend for a night in Bend and was an amazing hostess! She and her roommates took us around and had all sorts of advice, a great group of ladies with a great house!
 From Michael Masilunas Canonsburg, United States
Oct 18, 2009 Positive Kelly and Amy are two very optimistic girls with a postive outlook on life. We shared some great stories and they were witness to my fateful coin-flip decision in the "American" Bar. It was great meeting them and hopefully I can make it out to Seattle and Bend some day.
From Joshua Simone Bend, United States
Sep 13, 2009  Positive If I could pick one person to hang out with, that person would be K-mac. She is very personable and super fun. Just chilling and having coffee with her is an experience. She loves life and people. Prepare yourself for a great time no matter what you are doing with Kelly.
From Brent James Bellamy Portland, United States
Sep 4, 2009 Positive Kelly is a genuine person worth getting to know and spending quality time with
 From Valerie Gliffe Youghal, Ireland (Republic of)
Aug 6, 2009  Positive I hosted Kelly and her friend Amy at my home in Youghal in Summer 2009. I can highly recommend them as guests and found them polite, helpful and very appreciative of any small thing I did for them. Besides that, they are both warm and friendly people and got on well with my husband and two boys.
 From IRISHCALYPSO Waterford, Ireland (Republic of)
Aug 3, 2009 Positive I hosted Kelly and Amy for a couple of nights and they were an asset. Cheerful outlook and helpful in the kitchen. I really enjoyed their company and would go to Oregon just to see them again.
From Robbie Campbell Dublin, Ireland (Republic of)
Aug 3, 2009 Positive met Kelly when she was visiting the Spraoi Festival in Waterford. A real nice person who seems to be always smiling, wished we had more time to spend together.
From Erin Werner Bend, United States
May 28, 2009  Positive It was so great to meet a fellow couch surfer! Had a great conversation about past travels and Spanish language immersion. Hope to see you around town soon!
From Tyler Nofziger Bend, United States
