I am currently traveling through Europe with my fiancé, Molli. We're having extended stays with hosts via the WorkAway program. But, in between WorkAway hosts, or on long weekends, we're hoping to Couchsurf a bit, meet new people, and further the CouchSurfing mission.

I have been living in Moscow, Idaho, U.S.A. for the last four years to finish up graduate school. Molli has been a pre-school teacher for the last 5 years. We're both at a transition period with lives - no career commitments, no kids, no mortgage, etc. - which we thought would be a great time to travel. If you'd like to see more about our travels, send us a message. We have a blog (teampanther.squarespace.com), but it's password protected to avoid trolls, unwanted visitors, etc. Send us a quick message and we'll forward the password to you.

My goal for Couchsurfing is to make most of our travels by staying with local people when we're traveling through cities and in need of a place to stay for a couple nights. We'd love to see what makes your home special to you, or what you love most about where you live. We also love sharing stories and learning new things. Molli and I can offer help with cooking, groceries, dishes, random projects, and hopefully lots of laughing.

Thanks for taking the time to look at our profile. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send us a message.

-Sam and Molli

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CouchSurfing experiences have all been great. Most recently, a young guy from France hosted us for 8 days! It is always incredible to see so much generosity in the world.

Unfortunately, I haven't been Couchsurfing much in the last few years. I couched surfed in Brussels in the summer of 2007 and had an amazing time. I also hosted a band from Portland, OR on there way through my hometown in 2007. In 2008 I hosted three people riding their bicycles cross country. Other than that, I've met other Couchsurfers through friends who were hosting people.

Molli and I are currently traveling around Europe for about six months. We're hoping to Couchsurf in between WorkAway locations. We're both excited to meet new people and gain some more Couchsurfing experience.

Interests

I am pretty much up for anything. I love to ski, bike, run, go to the lake, hike, climb, anything outdoors. I love cooking and eating great food. One of my favorite interests, and my favorite thing about CS, is meeting new people. I like hearing everyone's different stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent five days running the length of the Middle Fork of Salmon River in central Idaho. It's a great story that I would love to tell if our paths cross...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you about the Pacific Northwest, the environment, law, running, skiing, and how to properly maintain a mustache.

Learn: Anything about different countries and different people. If it's something I don't know already, I'll be interested no matter what it's about.

Share: I love sharing my passions and interests with others..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll share my bad jokes, cooking help, and professional dish washing skills. Molli and I are also free to help out with any projects you may have.
