Amy was recommended by Erin Kuschner, our food & drink editor: "I have this friend, Amy. She's one of the most loyal people I know—get to know her and she'll stick by you no matter what. She's completely dedicated to whatever she puts her mind to, whether it's starting a career as a Pilates instructor (guys, she'll probably kick your ass in crunches) or mastering no-bake cheesecake made with cauliflower (this lady can cook). If you're looking for someone to enjoy LA with, Amy's your girl—she plans killer beach days and winery trips. Her ideal night out is grabbing a beer at a low-key bar to watch the Patriots or Red Sox, so yeah, fellas, get in line."
Here's Amy, in her own words:
What's at the top of your LA bucket list? Sunset standup paddleboarding with whales and dolphins.
What LA stereotype do you kind of live up to? Beach bum. It's why I moved here! I'm usually in flip flops and cutoff shorts and would almost always rather have my toes in the sand.
FYF, Burning Man or the LA Phil? LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl.
Beach, mountains or desert? Beach, please! Although Big Bear and Palm Springs are great weekend trips.
What's the most underrated part about LA? All the great things to do that don't really feel like LA—movies in the cemetery, nighttime farmers markets, wine gardens in Malibu.
What's your ideal first date spot and why? Something outdoors and casual—a hike, a baseball game, a concert in the park. I like first dates that are less formal than going out to dinner, those usually feel more like interviews.
