Hi! My name is Veronica! I'm an athlete currently competing for the USA in the sport of skeleton. Don't know what skeleton is? It's a winter sport where I travel face first down a mile-long ice chute. I get to travel around the world and race with my teammates in the hopes of qualifying for the Olympics one day.

When I'm not sliding or travelling, I live in Colorado Springs, CO and help other athletes find jobs and potentially transition into life after sport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like a great way to train at tracks in the areas that I travel to frequently. I used it in college for a backpacking trip around Europe and it was a great way to meet people and learn the areas better.
