Laura is awesome. She likes to hike and has nice hair. Get to know her!

Name: Laura Schmalstieg
Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colorado 
Age: 22
Graduated from: Just graduated from Colorado State University, go Rammies!
Biggest biff (aka time you ate it, injured yourself in a humorous way, etc.): Hiking Eagle’s Peak in February without crampons=face planting onto ice. 
Most epic purchase (besides a whistle): Plane ticket to study abroad in Paris!
Best thing you have ever done that you should not have done: Locals smuggled us out of a national park while hitchhiking in Peru to avoid park fees. 
If you could be absolutely anything and be the best at it; what would it be? Paid traveler, yep, someone paying me to go travel the world.
What a snazzy lil’ lady! We all love her at Falling Whistles and I hope everyone reading this can soak up her wonderfulness. Stay tuned next week, when we reveal some of the last few interns! (Yep, there’s more of us!)
Peace,
Whitney & The FWinterns
