Hello! :) My name is Chelsea Rager and I’m currently living in my home state, Michigan. My every day life includes working, enjoying life and spending time with family and friends. In spare time I check out new businesses, art and nature in the places near me. Photography, research, cooking, art and community are important to me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primarily because of my work schedule, when I travel out of state it is for 2 or 3 days only.. It can be a challenge to meet locals that quickly so I’m really hoping Couchsurfing will serve to help us meet one another and give me a place to crash for a night or two.

Interests

Photography: With my Canon t6i, I love to capture ordinary things in (what I hope to be) extraordinary ways. Photographing the life in people and places :)
Hiking: Nature is free and fulfilling. It just aligns our state of mind and is becoming one of my go-to hobbies.
Art: Along with photography, I have a pull towards all things art. I love to see what people can create!
Cooking & Vegan: So I am vegan and I absolutely love food. I’ve been known to cook some non-vegan dishes for family and friends as well.
Research: It can sounds geeky but learning new things about us and the world we live in is one of the most exciting things to me. Humanity is constantly developing and discovering new insights so keeping informed about them is very fun.
Community: What would we be without community? Not a whole lot. Connecting with people and learning to be a strong member in the community around me has shown to be very fulfilling in my life. I’m the type of person that will be very cheerful to meet you and learn about you! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtripped to California and lived there for 6 months then roadtripped back, all by myself, lol!

Teach, Learn, Share

Personally, I’m no scholar but I have learned a lot in my life and am always open to learning more. We all teach and learn by sharing so let’s be open to that!

What I Can Share with Hosts
