Hey there! My name's Chelsey, originally from New Hampshire. I spent a few years traveling Europe, SE Asia, and the Near East, and now I'm living in Fairbanks, Alaska with my husband, Sean.

I adore backpacking, trail running, skiing.. anything that's outdoors and active. Oh, and yoga and craft beer ;)

My husband and I live in a cabin outside Fairbanks, and while we don't have a spare bed, we have a super comfy couch and lots of floor space! Home cooked meals, home brewed beers.. Our schedules can be a bit crazy, so someone relatively self sufficient is preferable, for your own sakes. We're always down for weeks adventures though, and exploring after work. Miles of wilderness just outside of town, and Denali National Park is only two hours south.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and growing my community. I've couch surfed more than a few times in my roaming days, and want to return the favor while I'm currently in one place.

Music, Movies, and Books

What I Can Share with Hosts

Alaska! Need I say more .. in the summers, endless sunlight, backpacking, wildlife, blueberries. In winters, a lot of darkness, Northern Lights, Nordic skiing, hot yoga, and below freezing temperatures.

Home cooked meals, beers, card games, and one overly-friendly cat named Mike Jones.
