Description
Hi our names are Mel and Finn and we love doing anything and everything outdoors! We both spend our summers backpacking and canoeing in the backcountry for multiple weeks at a time! We met in college at the University of Montana playing ultimate frisbee. We love living in tight knit communities and sharing stories with others. We're a relaxed and go with the flow couple but love to stay busy and active. Workaway excites us as a way to visit new places and have more of a purpose while being there!
