We enjoy getting to know fellow non-smoking travelers and adventurers, so we only accept requests for 2 or more nights, and non-smokers only. Sarah and I hosted CSers from all over, and stayed with CSers in Europe and North Africa, from 2009-2020, but quit after technical difficulties that CS never fixed (we stopped getting notified of requests). We started CS again with a new account to fix the problem, but lost all of our references and reviews! Sarah is also a retired teacher and, unlike me, she is a polyglot fluent in English and German, also gets by in French, Spanish, and Italian, and can read, speak and understand some Mandarin. We live just outside Glacier National Park in Montana, which is a beautiful place to visit. We have children and grandchildren. We're liberal non-Christians. We'll only accept requests for 2 or more nights, and only accept non-smoking guests. Please let us know you are a non-smoker in your request. Thanks!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

We enjoy making new friends while sharing travel experiences with visitors around our beautiful area, and when visiting new places in the world. We have CS friends who we have had reciprocal visits with, and even gone on extended vacations with several times. Travelers and wanders are pretty cool people!

音乐、电影和书籍

We both enjoy classical music and Sarah is principal bassist for the Glacier Symphony. We were both members of the Tropical Montana Marimba Ensemble. We like a wide range of movies, including those by Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. We are both avid readers and have been in several book clubs. We like just about everything...modern and classic literature, historical fiction, sci-fi, history, cultural philosophy, anthropology and much more.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Alan and one of our daughters got to be alone for 15-20 minutes in the main burial chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Sarah rode in flat-bottom open river boats, as a bassist with the Fairbanks Symphony, to perform at various native villages in Alaska.

教，学，和分享

We can reassure foreigners that there are many sane and thoughtful people in the USA who do not believe in the absurd workings of the GOP, and DO believe in science, education, gun control, reproductive health choices, and civil rights for anyone who is not hurting others. We enjoy sharing with visitors the spectacular beauty of our part of the world, mountain hiking and camping, river canoeing and lake sailing, x-country skiing and snowshoeing, and Montana history. Sarah really enjoys learning about languages, and is a great cook. When we travel we enjoy getting to know an area with a local. Hiking, eating, museums, walking to enjoy the ambience of a city, using public transportation (a treat for anyone from Montana where it is almost nothing), meeting new people and learning about different cultures...these are reasons we enjoy traveling.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We can share meals, information, suggestions and adventures in our part of the world, and love to do so with others in their home area.
