My name is Chelsea, and I currently live a semi-nomadic lifestyle with my husband, Ben. We recently started our own online business so that we can continue exploring new places! We love being able to travel the world and discover the unique, quirky aspects of each city we visit.

I have a mechanical engineering degree, and I was fortunate enough to work as a bicycle engineer for several years. Needless to say, I love bicycles and cycling of all kinds.

PHILOSOPHY

"Begin every day as if it were on purpose."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to have people stay at my place when I have a permanent address. Currently, I travel and house-sit 100% of the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't couch surfed yet! Ben & I have been house-sitting for the past year, we've lived in an international student co-op, and stayed in many a hostel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the summer of 2011, I rode my bicycle from Texas to Alaska to raise money for cancer research. A group does it every summer; check it out!

I love cooking. I make a killer Pad Thai, and I'm currently loving making Middle Eastern food. I'd love to have a cooking party!

I am a pretty good bike mechanic, and I'll gladly fix up your bicycle! I'd love to go on bike rides around the city.

We're sort of professional pet sitters, so if you need anyone to watch your pets, let us know!
