Greetings! My name is Chelsea and currently live in Seattle, WA. I moved there for graduate school at University of Washington 2 years ago. I have fallen in love with the green and lush city surrounded by water and mountains.

In school I studied Health Administration and I am passionate about improving the quality and access of our currently costly and messy healthcare system. I enjoy spending time outside, swimming, yoga, running, drinking a beer on the porch, hanging with friends, dancing, hiking and having open conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was awarded a travel fellowship through UW and head out on 8 months of solo travel in October. I hope to host some folks in Seattle, share my city and come to be familiar with couchsurfing in preparation of couchsurfing myself on my travels later this year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed with a friend on their farm in Patagonia, Chile, and then hitchhiked and camped north with a friend all the way to Santiago.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a yoga instructor and have also been a swim instructor. I know basic first aid and wilderness training and am able to help people navigate the US healthcare system. I also love to cook and enjoy helping out with a meal and learning local recipes or sharing my own!
