CURRENT MISSION

To explore this great world in which we live

ABOUT ME

Normally a writer and a business owner, we're taking the next year off to travel around the world. South America in the Spring, Europe in the Summer and Asia in the Fall! We make our home in Bozeman, MT and have been here for a few years now. Both originally from Montana and Idaho, we grew up in and love the American West. We're easy-going & friendly and love meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

We both take on the world with a very light-hearted and jovial approach. and try to treat people with as much respect as possible. We want to experience as much as possible, which motivated us to put our "traditional" lives on hold for this Round-the-World trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've participated in local couch surfing meetups, supported CS financially, and have couch surfed numerous times on a crazy around-the-country in 30 day trip. Once we return from our travels, we hope to open our home to couch surfers as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like mentioned above, have couch surfed with multiple people - from Chicago to Pittsburg - and enjoyed meeting a number of amazing folks!

Interests

Lots of stuff! Andrew: I love travel, photography, finance, computers, online business, guitar, sports (traditional and outdoor) and reading. Annie is a veracious reader, and an outstanding writer and reporter who also loves to get outside to ski, bike and run.

Music, Movies, and Books

We both love to read, with wide interests. Just finished a few good political books - "Decision Points" and "Game Changer", which was an in-depth look at the 2008 Obama/McCain race. Other favorite authors include Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and Bryce Courtney (The Power of One). Love business and entrepreneurial books as well - Tim Ferriss' "The Four Hour Work Week" is a favorite, and one that helped make our RTW trip possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the sun rise above from above the cloudline on a 10,000 foot volcano in Hawaii - it was spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

Andrew has experience in a few different areas - I've started an online business that supports us full-time and allows us to travel, and would be happy to share my experience regarding that. Additionally, I play the guitar fairly well and am pretty well educated in finance and investing.

Annie is an outstanding writer and reporter, and covered live proceedings of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C. last Spring. She also has a great deal of experience with the U.S. legal system and how it works.
