About Me

Hello, my name is Will. I am 30 years old and I live in Snowmass Village, Co (20 min from Aspen on the free bus). I work for The St. Regis Resort in Aspen on their concierge team. My "job" is to assist in making someone's trip/vacation a positively memorable experience, to build rapport, form lasting connections and serve all the needs of the guest, (and my surfers) My goal is to go above and beyond the already high expectations of each one of our guest and to build strong/professional relationships with all other outside vendors and individuals in Aspen and around the globe. Two times a year, when the hotel and town slow down for "off season" I have the fortunate opportunity to travel. Travel has given me so much over the past several years and I greatly value that global education. I also enjoy hiking, skiing, rock climbing, camping, cooking, telling/listening to stories and spending quality time with others. I enjoy documenting my adventures and travels on Instagram: follow @WillTravel_ablog and Facebook. Lets help each other really get out there and experience the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded travelers, vagabonds and those seeking adventure. To share my passions and learn about yours. To expand my global networks. To open up my home (when available) in order to give those I host a more local experience. I am here to travel longer/further/wilder/to all places around the world.
