I’m Michael, I’m a Mechanical Engineer from Montana, USA. I live near Glacier National Park now, but I grew up in Yellowstone, with a high school class of 12 kids including me, and I used to dress up as Bigfoot for pranks. I love nature and hiking/camping, but also love a good time downtown with live music or exchanging stories. I have my Private Pilot License, and I’m currently learning paragliding. As of December of 2021 I am a widower who now travels and prioritizes experiences and tries to honor the memory of my late wife by visiting some of our bucket list locations. I am very easy going and enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories.
