CURRENT MISSION

"May the ground rise up to meet your feet"

ABOUT ME

I live beautiful Montana! From the east coast originally, gravitated where the west begins. out where the hand-clasps a little stronger, smiles dwell a little longer__where there's more of giving and less of buying and one makes friends without half trying, THAT is where the west begins. I love to rock climb, hike, camp, and recently have gotten into mountain biking as well. Otherwise, I'm a student here at the University of Montana and live with 2 great roommates. Working part time currently, and am hoping to get a job in the hospital soon.

PHILOSOPHY

we must in tolerance and eagerness to learn, all bringing different walks and talks, thoughts and ideas, experience and knowledge, meet and share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

fairly new to the couchsurfing community, but love the attitude it promotes, and am excited to host and surf myself..and meet great people in the process.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the summer I had the opportunity to host travelers a few times. I havn't been able to surf yet, but every time I've hosted has been nothing less than a fantastic experience. Meeting people of all different walks of life and experience, learning from each other and growing. That's what it's all about!
