CURRENT MISSION

Journeying, dreaming, exploring, ever and always.

ABOUT ME

My name is Chelsea Marie Hicks and I believe in love, sound waves and fine print. I'm an artist, explorer, a coffee connoisseur. I work with words, ideas, ink, paper and pressure.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is meant for experience, to soak up the wonders of the world and to make an impact in whatever way possible. Optimism is key because although there is much destruction in this world there is also great beauty behind the seams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I beg people to let me sleep on their couch in exchange for some good conversation and maybe even a little bit of adventure.

Interests

It's worth noting that I'm fond of many things, particularly....dark chocolate, Pilot Precise V5 pens, the smell of old books, fresh fruit, anything involving coffee, tattoos, taking photographs, watching films, listening to music loudly, the combination of whiskey and ginger ale, rambling on about in/significant topics and learning, about everything strange, critical, theoretical and amusing. I love to read and write, play board games, especially Scrabble, and tempt my palate with foreign flavors.
