I am a recent transplant to Montana. I am extremely passionate about sustainability, nature, organic gardening and the like. I'm fairly energetic and always down for an adventure. I love the excitement and the inspiration that comes from traveling and meeting new people as I imagine most of you on this site do. Grew up as a suburban kid, went to an amazing college, got a few opportunities to travel the world and do some service along the way and now I'm attempting to create solutions and progress towards sustainability.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because a few friends raved about the site and the experiences they had meeting new people while traveling. Traveling in hotels is quite bland and boring, why pass up the opportunity to meet someone new from a different part of town?
