About Me

"One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things." - Henry Miller

I'm originally from Montana, and have lived there most of my life. My husband and I recently sold our house to spend a year traveling and experiencing new places. He is a retired middle-school science teacher and I run an online business, so we are location independent. We've been married for 12 years. No kids, but two cats that act like them.

We both love to hike, be outside, laugh, play music, read, eat healthy foods, and meet new people. We are open-minded, live simply, and love wild places and conservation. We'll be the best guests you've ever had.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people and experience new cultures. Whether we can offer someone a place to stay or share a place with someone else, it will be a learning experience. We are currently traveling for a year, so this is a great place to be!

Interests

Trying to make the perfect gluten free bread, any type of yoga, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, singing cover tunes, writing humorous fiction, petting my cats, reading great books, listening to others, life coaching, HBO television series, the NFL, and many other wondrous things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of David Sedaris and I love humor writing. My music tastes are all over, but I'm kind of a throwback in that I love Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and other classic folk and rock artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a trip to Australia for two by writing an essay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach amazingly simple and tasty gluten-free, allergy-free cooking and baking. I've also taught voice and piano. I am a business consultant so can teach that as well. My husband can teach guitar, fly-fishing, wilderness skills, tennis, and art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share a great sense of humour, help around the house, information, and good food. Happy to cook while we're visiting.
