I’ve lived in MT for about 8 years and I love it here. I’ve lived all over the state, and I love to hear peoples’ travel routes and plans!

CURRENT MISSION
Just started grad school for family & couples counseling!

PHILOSOPHY
-Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
-Respecting life without taking it too seriously.

"Conforming a goal to the individual, not conforming the individual to a goal"

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to settle down in the traditional sense. I feel deep kinship with people like me in this way. I learn everyday.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE

I surf when traveling, and I pick up hitchhikers. Offering a ride vs. a couch isn't all that different!! I also host cyclists from WarmShowers, and just joined TrustedHousesitters, to housesit/watch peoples' pets while they are out of town. Big fan of all of the work-trades out there to make traveling more of a lifestyle, and less of a destination to come and go from. I’ve benefited from them in so many ways, love being able to give back now by hosting and connecting.
