About Me

This is actually an account for my husband Nate and myself...and 2 kids! AND one on the way!! We both love the outdoors and ski and snowboard. I work at a local bank and Nate is a ski instructor and works for Glacier National Park. Nate and I bought our very first house 5 years ago and moved 15 min away from Whitefish. We miss Whitefish a lot, however we are very excited to be closer to Glacier National Park and all the Spring, Summer and Fall activities that go with it! Due to the fact that’s there are kids on the property please have hosting references if you would like to stay with us 😊
PHILOSOPHY First of all I'm not concerned with why we are here, more what will we do here. On top of this we are traveling suspended in the life force (a constant ethreal flow also known as prana in some cultures) this flow can be influenced but one can not influence the entire capacity. What is my role in this? It is redefined every moment. What do you do with the flow, navigate, explore, and when you find an awesome wave, surf that thing, and have the ride of your life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had many people stay at my different houses and enjoy being a host. I would like to share the beautiful place I live with all kinds of people and help them live life to the fullest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nate and I have had many people stay at our house the last couple years! Nate jokes that we should open a hostel :) We have had guests in the past that have been afraid of dogs, ours are quite large and have no boundaries so please feel free to send a request if you are comfortable with dogs and a dog lover :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have extensive knowledge of many ski areas in the pacific northwest and teach skiing for a living in the winter. I am really good at fixing Subaru among other things. I am also an experienced outdoorsman and have a great sense of direction. I am also an experienced psychonaut. I hope to learn more than I can teach.
