Hello :)
My names Chelsea, I’m a musician/psychotherapist from Australia. Ahh yes music is my number one love.
Im visiting Israel to experience the magic of the place, to be inspired by the music and culture and landscapes here. There’s a lot for me to learn from this place.

I’m hoping to spend a lot of time here hiking around the mountainside and desert and creating art while I’m at it.

I’d really love to live with locals to have more of an inside experience of this place by being in connection with its people ! (Not really feeling the hostel thing, so very grateful to your for offering this experience!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favourite way to travel is to connect with the locals - I'm not into just bouncing from hostel to hostel and i know the craving I have for that deeper experience is so so enriched by living with people from the area.
I used to host people when i lived in Bondi and absolutely loved connecting with different travellers and hearing their stories and thought it might be nice being on the other side meeting you awesome people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to this odd crack in the earth out a farm in Brazil, which turns out to be a huge cave...we repelled down into the cave that is full of white giant stalactites and stalimites (crystal formations) - we then went diving 40m down into this crystal clear turquoise water and rock climbed all the way back up - it was quite the day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach singing, through a less traditional approach (more so about opening rather than refining), I’m deeply into poetry, mythology & philosophy.
I’m a nature lover, and have spent many a months living in the forest practicing survival skills.

I would love to learn some Hebrew songs & prayers :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would happily share music, I can share my songs with you or perhaps we can play together.

I’d also happily cook for you, I love cooking (would love to learn traditional recipes from your culture also)
