Hi! This is Sarah and Alan, both of us grew up in Houston, TX. We've been working in West Glacier, MT this summer of 2022.

Sarah's Bio:

I was actually born in China, but was adopted by an American family when I was one year old. After high school I knew college wasn't for me so I've been working and traveling, technically I'm on my 6th gap year, haha. I've mostly been doing seasonal work which has allowed me to live in NM, CA, WY, and MT. The summer of 2019 I had the opportunity to travel abroad for 6 months and went to Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam. The highlight of my overseas travels was living on Orchid Island, one of the small islands of Taiwan, there I learned to free dive and could swim 36ft down with one breath. But there's still so much to see and do.

Alan's bio:

Born and raised in Houston, Texas. Unlike my significant other, I haven't travelled nearly as much as her. I went to college in Louisiana for Computer Science after high school and currently taking a break from it to see more of the world. Art and Music has been a hobby of mine every since I was little. I took piano for 7 years and after learned the trumpet in the marching band for 7 years. I would like to explore the world more and see what it can offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great service for travelers on a budget, and a great opportunity to meet amazing people around the world. I really appreciate those opening their home to others.
