A big city gal, I came to Montana for graduate school, and stayed. I love museums, old movies, eating out, and hiking the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've lived many places, and traveled to many countries. The idea of making new friends, hosting and being hosted, is why I'm on couch surfing. Showing someone your town is alot of fun.

Interests

I like to go horseback riding. I love old movies, and film of any kind. I like to hike and camp. I follow local politics. I volunteer at the local animal shelter...walking dogs and brushing cats. I love river rafting and bird watching. In my work as a field biologist, I've worked with exotic animals...frogs and bats for example. I like bugs.
