Hi! I’m Michelle Gonzales (a.k.a. Chelness)
I’m a blogger slash social media junkie, closet nerd, travel enthusiast, and foodie who sees the good in everything, even in the worst of times!
CHELNESS.COM is an online documentary of my day-to-day encounters with food, places, things, and people from all walks of life; The young & the old, the carefree & the wise, the famous & the anonymous; People who have something to say, something to give. I consider that my education.
I am a young, passionate individual who lives by three simple words — EAT. TRAVEL. LIVE. — and I’m here to blog about it! I am an aspiring writer, and a conceptual artist, pursuing a career in SEO, marketing, advertising, and social media in the NYC area. I am also a cancer survivor currently fighting a battle against Pulmonary Fibrosis.
The purpose of this blog is to create a window to the beautiful and meaningful life I strive to create for myself and the people around me. I am here to share my day-to-day food and travel experiences, while inspiring others through my meaningful discoveries and life stories.
I believe I have seen things that most people never get to see, and experienced life from a perspective that most people do not realize exists. Naturally, I feel a need to tell people about it. Out of this, the blog “Chelness” was born — coined from my nickname, Chel (short for Michelle) and -ness which denotes a quality, a state or an emotion. This blog will be fueled with the qualities I posses, whatever state of mind I’m in, and all emotions that I go through. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy sharing them. Stay tuned. There will be more “chelness” moments along the way. Happy reading!
And always remember, being different is one of the most beautiful things on earth. You too, can embrace your “you”-ness!
