Hello friends, I'm Chelsea, I live in Calgary, Canada. I love to cook, go on long road trips, write poetry, and take photos! I adore meeting other adventurous souls and hearing their stories!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
New friends, storytelling, hopefully I can host someday when my living space is better suited for it!
Music, Movies, and Books
I love music and making sweet mix cds for people (or Spotify playlists, it's 2023)! Lately: Frank Ocean (always), Sports, Babe Rainbow, Summer Salt, Best Coast, Alvvays, Tame Impala, Lana del Rey, the Black Keys... Books: Wild (Cheryl Strayed), Unbounded (Steph Jagger), Stranger in the Woods (Michael Finkel), Douglas Coupland, Kurt Vonnegut, etc etc Movies: So many! I want to watch more weird art films.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Driven across Canada solo (a few times) in my trusty little Nissan Micra (rip).
Teach, Learn, Share
I can cook you a great meal (especially love Thai food!) I would like to practice my French, take more photographs, and generally share some beautiful experiences with great people :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I make good coffee and even better French toast! ;) happy to help around the house with any chores/errands etc while I'm around. I'm an aspiring photographer so maybe we can have some fun portrait sessions too!
My Interests
I want to become a better photographer during the course of my trip, and I'm excited to be able to document all the great places and people I get to meet! I collaborate with my friend to do a wine club and tasting menu occasionally in Calgary. I'm currently working on the second edition of a recipe book/zine that I started to be able to document some family recipes :) I spend my summers working at a backcountry lodge in the Rockies - it's magical! The rest of the year I am a city girl and love trying new restaurants, going to shows, travelling etc.
