Description

Hi, I’m Chelsea! I'm a photographer and furniture maker from California. My greatest passions are travel, photography, adventure, the outdoors, and experiencing new places and cultures.

I love hiking, camping, road trips, animals, sustainability, and just about anything that gets me outside. I’m an easygoing person who enjoys meeting new people from different backgrounds, learning new skills, and sharing experiences. I’m always up for an adventure and believe some of life’s best moments happen outdoors, out of your comfort zone, and through connecting with others.

Professionally, I work as a photographer, videographer, and furniture maker with a background in woodworking and carpentry. I love creative projects, working with my hands, and helping bring ideas to life. I’m always happy to lend a hand with building projects, gardening, photography, creative projects, animal care, and anything outdoor related. I’m also very comfortable around children. I come from a big family with five younger siblings and six nieces and nephews, so I’ve spent a lot of time caring for and playing with kids of all ages.

I’m currently travelling up the east coast of Australia July through September and am excited to meet new people, make meaningful connections, and explore as much as I can. I am open to venturing off the east coast as well and travelling other parts of the country. I’m especially interested in opportunities involving nature, community, creative projects, gardening, animals, or hands-on work. I also enjoy meeting fellow travelers and hosts who love adventure and exploring together.

Looking forward to meeting you!

What else ...

I’m always excited to learn new skills, have new experiences, and step outside my comfort zone. One of my favorite parts of traveling is experiencing life in different cultures, seeing the beauty of new places, and finding adventure in the outdoors, and meeting people from around the world.

I appreciate simple living, good conversation, campfires, road trips, beautiful landscapes, and any adventure that gets me outside exploring somewhere new.
