Overview
About Me
Hello! Just moved to the Salt Lake City, UT area.
Trying to keep traveling and learning about people, places, and things a top priority.
I studied finance and Spanish in university and have a love for economics and community. I’ve been trying to build my portfolio of personal travel experiences while collecting stories from travelers I meet along the way.
Currently I work in finance. before that I was a dog trainer and working as an animal care tech for a veterinary clinic.
I love learning new cultures and languages! Still building Spanish and just started learning German. I’ve worked with language exchanges with some of my friends I made while living in Chile. It’s such a fun experience.
I’ve spent much of the last few years going for hikes and picking up new hobbies like watercolor, jump roping, boxing. My last trip was driving the Oregon coast and stopping along the way for some beautiful hikes and views.
My friends are my family. I love the craziness that is the human experience- there cannot be highs without lows. Not sure if I believe everything happens for a reason or if we just have a way of creating reason for the things that happen in our lives. We have much to explore.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meeting people who have travel experience or can show me the ropes of their home town would be great! The community has been lovely to get to know in my local area and the meetups are always a good time.
