My husband and I met on couchsurfing in East Lansing MI and now live together in Madison WI. Since meeting, Jeff and I have lived in Ann Arbor MI, Detroit MI, Philadelphia PA, Pittsburgh PA, Cape Town South Africa and Chapel Hill NC.

Good, high quality food is a priority in our household, and we enjoy cooking and baking whenever we get a chance. We are also interested in permaculture, art, natural house-building, beekeeping, delicious coffee/espresso, good beer, sustainability, and our impact on the world

Jeff and I have used couchsurfing on and off throughout the past 8ish years.
