I recently moved to the land of the Mountains. Still new to Missoula in 2024, would love to host you in my humble but cozy bungalow on the south side of town. I currently have one full guest room and one partial guest room (air mattress and less private. I'm right along the bike path and usually can spare a bike to explore with. If I have free time, would be happy to accompany you on some outdoor exploration. Or we can just sit around and chat and enjoy a snack or beverage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to open my heart and my home. I love sharing my homes with others and introducing people to the most interesting details of a new place or new ideas. To give shelter to the weary or beyond energized traveler is such a gift. I hope we can grow and learn and play together.
