About Me

Hello! My name is Chelsea.. I am from Austin Texas in the USA! I am currently a 21 year old wanting to explore the entire world. ( i know it sounds like a heavy order) But, I want to learn languages, (sort of know french) I want to experience new places. I want to be more grounded. I want to do new and daring things that will define my character. To be honest I want to fail and I want to succeed and meet people along the way! I am currently a 5th semester (senior back home in the USA) in college studying visual communication (graphic design). I am currently living in Basel on exchange program until feb 1st! I am an seriously passionate artist who loves to paint, draw, sculpt, build, re-use, glue and paste things together. I also love to fix things (learning how to construct currently). But I love to experience new places people and things! And would love to get to meet y'all

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently hiked/biked up vogelberg here in basel-stadt! It was the most beautiful experience of my entire life. I loved it, and it was so freeing to be alone and master something so challenging.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my experience of living and growing up in Texas. I realized most people have a pre-determined image of people of the south in America and I hope to maybe change that. Especially since theres not a lot of people from the south that come to Europe! And who knows maybe you can come with me to Austin and see for yourself how beautiful it really is in the south!!
I hope to learn new languages and maybe teach some artistic skills!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I feel like I can teach people to draw/paint or any other way that they can express themselves! Making art only requires a state of mind I think being inspired and inspiring!
