CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world. Currently living in Whitefish, MT.

ABOUT ME

I went on a solo European backpacking trip in the fall of 2014. I was overwhelmed by the generous hospitality I was shown by my couchsurfing hosts. Couchsurfing absolutely made my trip. I'm now back in the US and work seasonally near Glacier National Park in Montana.

PHILOSOPHY

You are a perishable item. Live accordingly.

If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am excited to surf and meet new people and have new experiences in the places I visit. I think couchsurfing is a great way to connect to the community and feel like a traveler and not just a tourist. I have been told I am a great house guest - very tidy and considerate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I Couchsurfed during my backpacking trip in Europe. It's my preferred way if traveling these days. I've met so many incredible people. I'm hooked!
