I currently live in Salt Lake City. I am happiest when I'm enjoying good company. I love to meet new, interesting people. I love traveling especially when I have the chance to stay with a host. I recently finished a full-time MBA program and now work remotely. I can be as quiet and kept to myself or social as you'd like. Looking forward to meeting youl

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals and staying with host homes are my favorite parts of traveling. I joined CS to connect with more people who share my passion, find opportunities to stay with locals where I travel, and meet those passing through where I live. I am also looking forward to meeting some other folks where I live through here that share the same passion for travel as I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I caught the travel bug when I was 14. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to Biarritz, France for a month. I lived with a host family who had never hosted before, spoke only a few words of English, and were about to have their first child. I had only taken a year of 8th grade French. During the time there, I took French classes, tried new things such as a surfing lesson, went hiking in the Pyrenees, and enjoyed observing the social dynamics of the older students on the trip (I did not know any of the students prior to joining the trip; they were from all over the US). This was a fantastic learning experience and fostered my passion for travel. I'm thankful for having parents who have been willing and able to support my passion and interests.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to teach and learn anything that opportunities allow!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I currently live in a one bedroom apartment, so I really only have a couch to share. Please note that I have a cat, and she will probably ask for some love. I am happy to show you around the area, check out some new places or explore the outdoors.
