About Me

CURRENT MISSION

'Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

ABOUT ME

All about me?! Sweet. Let's see...I love reading the local police reports 'cause around here they say benevolent things like, "a rooster crowed early in the morning," or " a moose was spotted walking down Rouse Street. I love to cook and often pretend that I'm on a cooking show when no one else is around. I love to dance and party but I like chilling out at the casa over some wine and cheese...so if you wanna kick it then you should be flexible for both.

Grant and I met about 4 years ago in the desert. Since then we've uprooted our lives and went to work in the forest. We love it here but more than anything we love the opportunity to travel on the "off-season" that our occupations provide. We've hunkered down in Costa Rica, the Pacific Northwest, and traveled up and down the states. We're in our late 20's and early 30's. We love the city but we love the woods so are molded to enjoy both! We love music, travels and friends and are definitely at our best when all three are intertwined. Can't wait to meet some fellow humans!

PHILOSOPHY

We just want to do what we do, and mix it up a bit with what you do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've usually got a couch or a bed anywhere from May to September if you're looking for a spot in Yellowstone! Other than that we usually spend our off time in Phoenix where we could meet up and show you the city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We're quite accustomed to couchsurfing, though not through this lovely organization. Working in Yellowstone, you meet people from all over the world and in most cases, people are more than ready to offer you somewhere to lay your head when you're in their little part of the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a moose playing with a river otter, I've seen my husband get married to me at a donut shop, I've seen some of the most awesome things come out of nothing!

Teach, Learn, Share

We know a bunch about the states and are looking to learn a lot more about everything outside of it! Beyond that, we're always looking to up our music library!
