Hi, I'm Enno, I'm from Des Moines, Iowa (in the United States) but I live now in Minnneapolis, Minnesota. I'm a teacher at a high school.

I enjoy drawing, painting, swimming, running, rock climbing & bouldering, playing chess, and studying class struggle and the organization needed for revolutionary overthrow of capitalism by the workers of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to build a world where everyone can travel more affordably and get to know places through the people who live there. An app like this isn't going to expropriate the landlords and bosses, but we can at least get that conversation started :)))

Interests
