CURRENT MISSION

Eating More Fruits and Vegetables

ABOUT ME

I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota where most of my childhood was spent in a sandbox. I spent many years exploring the Mississippi and biking through the Twin Cities. In June of 2012, I left land of 10,000 lakes for Washington, D.C. in pursuit of a job. Last year I moved back to Minnesota and started a new job. I live near the center of Saint Paul, along a main street with lots of restaurants. I am full of random information. I enjoy exploring new places, getting lost, and treating myself to ice cream and/or beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice and vote.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had some amazing stories from Milan, and great experiences in Ghent. I tell people that couch surfing gives you an inside look at a city and the people who live there, unlike a room key in a Hilton.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was five years old, I slept like a log while 13 firetrucks came to my block as my neighbor's house burned down.
