Birth
Originally Hails From:
Cayman Islands
Chelsea comes from the island of friendly stingrays, powdery beaches, top notch cuisine, epic scuba diving, and all-you-can-drink brunches. Growing up in the Cayman Islands sounds like a dream, but she always wanted to see what city life was all about. She got her wish for a total of 8 years when she pursued her Kinesiology and Physiotherapy degrees in Canada and Scotland, respectively. She never stayed away from Grand Cayman for long as her regular school breaks allowed her to come home for every roasting summer and breezy winter.
When she finally left Glasgow in 2013, she dove headfirst into the work hard, play hard mentality of island life and has never looked back. She’s a full-time physiotherapist, but is also passionate about promoting Cayman’s culinary scene through her food & travel blog, Island Epicurean. Chelsea uses her Caribbean and worldly upbringing to share stories about the quirks, drama, and hilarity of life in the Cayman Islands. You can also find her on Instagram.

The Perfect Island Community
"If you look at an island for what it is, it's a piece of land, surrounded by water that appears to stand alone. It's true that there are no united states or neighbouring unions. It floats in the middle of the ocean, seemingly disconnected from the rest of the world....
