Being a traveler at heart has helped Erin find the local seasonal lifestyle of Aspen and the global perspective it shares with her a comfortable fit. Erin’s many talents include snowboarding, surfing, art, writing, social entrepreneurship, Permaculture Design, environmental activism, cooking and pleasing taste buds, photography, natural building, tourist mind reading, biking and finding fun ways to shock and excite people with her witty sharp tongue.
