Hi I'm Chelsea and I'm currently away from home road tripping through California and then on to start work in the mountains.

New to couch surfing and California. I love the outdoors, art, music, swimming and meeting people from all over the world.

I'm a song writer and perform as a solo act and with a band. This is my main thing and I work hard to find the most fitting words and melodies for any story im trying to tell and have an enormous appreciation for the power of words but despite this, I do swear too much.

Looking to stay with people who are passionate about where they live and can advise on places to visit from personal experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, to eat good food with new friends, to learn about different cultures and environments, to sing songs with new voices

Interests

I'm pretty obsessed with song writing. I get tingly hands when I haven't played a guitar for more than a day.
I like to keep fit by Rock Climbing, Indoors and outdoors. I've found it to be a super friendly sport that keeps me strong. I love travelling, I like to keep moving. Moments shared are the best ones. I love being alone too but that's probably because I'm very socialable so need some down time now and then.
