About Me

CURRENT MISSION

we are advocates of Missoula holding its own as a resilient community that supports local agriculture and energy conservation

ABOUT ME

This is "Montana" - a native to the State and the region, intimately experienced in the culture and the landscape of Montana, the prairies and the mountain regions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

new to the experience. We also have a residence for paying guests in a short-term vacation rental - set up for housekeeping - where we meet people traveling to Missoula as their destination, often visiting friends and relatives who live in Missoula.

Interests

My time in Missoula today is living the resilient community - a proponent of distributed energy generation, small-scale wind energy with vertical axis wind turbines - love farmer's markets, gardening, relying on my bicycle for transportation, reading widely and all the time - playing duplicate bridge, practicing yoga and Pilates, bird watching, studying native plants, training and exercising my horses in the landscape of the Blackfoot River valley of Montana and attending lectures and music recitals at the very nearby University of Montana.

A statement that I used in my business of private land conservation for many years: "A land-use plan for rural lands with an examination of conservation values, will address aesthetic values, and economic implications of planning for all kinds of future development; with a sensitivity to the preservation of the native ecology, recreation activities, and for continuing certain levels of traditional agriculture uses consistent with an improving ecological system of the water resources, soils and plant and animal communities".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived a summer in an intentional New York City community at nineteen, the experience socially and culturally embedded a confidence in my identify both grounding as self, and for the desire to gather and to assimilate skills; then later on to a two-year Peace Corps in Brazil learning the agency of social change and for facilitating growth in movements and in organizations.
