Hi! I'm liz, and I'm the founder and editor of Catalyst Wedding Magazine, a print magazine that shows diverse couples and presents new takes on old traditions. I have lived in four states in four years: Ohio, Colorado, DC, & Texas, so I have been somewhat of a jack of all trades - working as a barista, a yoga instructor, an adjunct instructor, and a paralegal, to name a few.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This upcoming year is going to be a bit of a wild ride. I am beginning the year in Boulder, co-working and collaborating with the editor of the magazine, Alpine Modern. In March, my husband and I are planning to roadtrip around the East Coast to visit cities that we are interested in perhaps making our home! And in April, we are heading out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I'm putting my faith in the universe that there are plenty of good people to lean on in the uncertainty of our adventures, and I'm hoping I can pay it forward when I get my feet planted on the ground later this year.
