CURRENT MISSION

"I'm just in a spongey state in my life."

ABOUT ME

Spent nearly all my life in Montana and love it here. I have a pretty great backyard where I can disappear into the Mountains whenever I want. I travel when I can to Panama, where my mom's side of the family lives. I'm outgoing, very friendly, adventurous, spontaneous, and work hard.

PHILOSOPHY

You're cool until proven otherwise. I will give almost all strangers a chance to welcomed into my life in one respect or another. Once there is an action that discredits their ability to be in that circle, its a hard climb back up. I also really can't stand watching people sacrifice their happiness for kindness. I used to be that way, but it still behooves me to watch. I have a love for life and people in general. Listening to people is like reading a book. Tragedies, comedies, romances, dramas, suspense, etc.. Love em all and am enjoying the library.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a host and have surfed. My surfing ability in both this organization and in the literal surfing world are limited, but I have fully enjoyed all of my experiences. I have taken surfers hiking in Glacier National Park, drove them from the airport to where they are staying, helped with advice on where to go and what to see, lined them up with places to stay (non-surfer hosts) in other cities. I'm a connecter, so this is a great ability to meet new awesome people and connect them with other awesome people or awesome things to do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Berkeley and Austin.
Hosted in Whitefish and Bozeman.

Love meeting new people and love helping out however I can. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness, even just a hot shower and floor, can mean the world to someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most anything but horror. I don't really do TV. Don't ask me about a show, because the answer is "I don't know" about 97% of the time. Documentaries I can do. Music, most everything but country (except classic country), hard metal, slang rap, or anything that I can't extract nouns from a Webster Dictionary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving at the Lost Prairie Boogie. Snorkeling around a shipwreck in Bocas Del Toro.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm extremely passionate about Montana and I will most always find a way to show you around to the spots you can't miss. I'm fairly resourceful, and can you usually get you headed in the right direction depending on your journey.
