Hello my loves! 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!

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.

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!
