About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep my tomato plants alive just long enough so i can eat them

ABOUT ME

My boyfriend and I just moved out to Bozeman (he grew up here) to try the settling down thing. We've both done a lot of traveling (we met each other in China) and really want to see what it feels like to know a place and some people for longer than a year. People have given me rides and let me sleep on their couch and eat their food all over the world. I'm really happy to have the opportunity to do the same for somebody else. That being said, Brian and I are pretty quiet people. We like eating good food, going out for a beer, and good conversation, but neither of us are the life of the party. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay and good things to eat, you're in the right place.

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This website is pretty amazing.

I think some of my most memorable experiences are:
(1) hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan, China
(2) swimming in a freezing cold waterhole called "hell" in Syria on a 120 degree day

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I can teach you how to knit. Brian can teach you how to machine little bitty things out of metal.
