Chelsea Batten

Associate Editor, San Diego

Chelsea Batten loves the written word, and finding good reasons to use it. Her travels, in search of good things to write about, have taken her from the coast of California, to the slums of Argentina and Scotland, to the Eastern seaboard, to the French countryside. She now distributes her time between exploring the neighborhoods of her hometown, and supporting the groundswell of local agriculture. She is constantly on the lookout for better ways of life—contact her with yours at thechelseagrin@gmail.com
