Grew up in East burbs of Minneapolis.
10 years in south minneapolis doing diy punk stuff, living in diy punk houses.
Bought and old school on the north shore of Lake Superior in Finland MN with 4 friends in 2016.
Moved up there but now I'm spending the winter working in downtown Winnipeg, building an Ice Castle...which I've been doing professionally (elsewhere) for the last 5 winters.
I work six months out of the year and fuck off the rest of it. Suits me fine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spent the better part of the last 8 years being obsessed with hopping freight trains around N America, and before that was spent hitchhiking all over.
I would love to host anyone who's out there doing the same since I'm cooped up working until April/May...but open to any and all people coming through Winnipeg.

I just moved here for work and will only be in Winnipeg until April or May...so I'm hoping to make couchsurfer friends in addition to whoever I meet locally.

I think i'll be spending time in New Zealand sometime this coming summer (2018) so hopefully I can host some folks this winter and have the favor returned when I'm travelling next year?
