About Me

I'm just about to finish up my second season working in Alta, Utah. It's a small ski town near Salt Lake City, and I've been working at a lodge on the mountain. I've been surrounded by incredible people and have had the opportunity to ski almost every day, so it's been a pretty unbelievable experience.

Next up for me is visiting LA for about a month or two, before traveling up to Portland where I'll (hopefully!) find a job. I'm excited to explore the west coast along the way (I haven't driven the Pacific Coast Highway yet!!) as well.

A little bit of background:
I studied theatre at NYU and lived in New York City for about 5 years. During that time I studied abroad in France and was fortunate to get to travel to many different countries in that period. I moved from New York to Utah, where I worked my first season in Alta, and then embarked upon a two-month road trip around the country with my twin brother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been so grateful for my experiences couchsurfing. There's no better way to see a city than through the eyes of the people living there, and the people I've stayed with have been so friendly and accommodating and have really been excited to show me a good time.
I've only hosted once for a very brief period, so my experiences as a host are limited. I can't wait until I am in a place long enough to be able to reciprocate all the generosity I've received on here!!

Interests

Theatre, travel, trapeze, good food, good friends, sunshine, new things to fall in love with, doodling, stargazing.

Exploring new places.

I also love to eat. I think I'm 90% cheese at this point.

I really, really want to go skydiving. I'd also like to learn how to surf and ride a unicycle!
