I live to travel and I love to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hey! I have surfed on my fair share of couches in my day and I want to pay it forward. I am on couch surfing to meet/host travelers from other countries and show them what Minneapolis is all about.

My apartment is located in the heart of NE Minneapolis off a main bus route/bike route. I live with my girlfriend in an one bedroom apartment and we have a sectional couch that could comfortably fit 1.5 guests and uncomfortably fit 2 guests.

Interests

I am a bicycle, beer and film enthusiast. I worked at multiple liquor stores throughout college and I brew my own beer. I prefer to bike over driving. I love seeing new movies and I volunteer every year at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all genres of music with the exception of country music. I am especially fond of old school funk, hip-hop, indie rock and anything I can dance to. I am a huge advocate of public radio and I volunteer regularly for Minnesota Public Radio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My sister and I ascended 54 stories of Ghost Tower, an abandoned haunted skyscraper in Bangkok, Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am re-acclimating myself with Spanish. I took 3 years in High School and 2 years in college (Universidad). I am open to helping others with their English and I am always looking for someone to help me with my Spanish. I am also learning Norwegian and dabbling with Japanese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My girlfriend and I are the ideal travelers to host. We are extremely courteous, clean, respectful and easy going. My girlfriend is an elementary art teacher and she is great with kids in addition to being a huge art nerd.
