ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old outdoor enthusiast living in Salt Lake City. I love good food, good beer, and having good times with interesting people. I love learning about the world around me. I studied international politics and environmental studies, so I'm extremely passionate about working to combat climate change. In my free time, I like to rock climb, ski, whitewater raft, and go out with friends. I also have a big fluffy Siberian cat named Mishka and an Australian Shepherd puppy named Piton :)

I'm currently not accepting guests, but I would be happy to meet up for a drink or climb/hike/ski! Just shoot me a message or find me on Instagram @girlonthesharpend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world, and I think that learning about and experiencing a new place with a local makes a trip much more fulfilling. Also, I just graduated from college in the U.S. so I'm painfully broke and couchsurfing is free :)

Interests

I love spending time outdoors, preferably in the mountains or on the river. Travel is my true love, so I also enjoy getting lost in new cities around the world.
