She demonstrates a growth mindset, and has a love of learning and a natural curiosity towards life that is infectious. She has a strong sense of awe, wonder, respect and appreciation for the outdoors.”
— B. Schmidt- Multiple Expeditions
“I especially appreciated Kellsie's demeanor: knowledgeable, engaged, calm. She would bring up ideas, and then follow-through on them: like reading book chapters aloud, encouraging journal writing, planning meditation activities, and initiating campfires & stargazing. She also balanced that with chill and quiet times, which I am particularly grateful for. I'm really glad to have met her. “
— A. Sidhu- Wind River Expedition
“I was ultimately inspired to book a trip with Kellsie because I could feel her excitement for the area we were going to and her sense of adventure in discovering and delighting in it. Kellsie wasn’t just putting together the logistics and crunching the numbers - she was joining us in experiencing a place.”
— J. Fuller- Iceland Expedition
“As a trip leader, Kellsie brought an incredible energy to the group with her extensive knowledge of the backcountry and can-do attitude! She built a great environment in a group of people from diverse backgrounds, and I am eternally grateful.”
