CURRENT MISSION

Take time, be healthy, explore, share joy

ABOUT ME

I like to be outside, doing (or at least trying) just about all possible outdoor activities/sports. I like to smile, that happens often. I love my cat, possibly more than my friends.

I have been working in a microbiology lab studying diatoms isolated from Yellowstone for the last two years, frolicking around Montana all the while. I've moved on from that job and am on my way to try out some other occupations and places and to take time to travel more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new!

I've lived with roommates hosting couchsurfers, gone climbing with a couchsurfer in town, had friends couchsurf, and on all ends it seems like a wonderful way to truck around.

I'd like to slow down, try staying a while to get a feel for some of the cities I would otherwise miss. I've been in Montana for the last 6 years and much as I love it, I'll be leaving soon for my job and relocating in a few years for graduate school too. Its time to start checking out what other amazing places are around here!
