CURRENT MISSION

Get through life, make the (little) bucks, live happy.

ABOUT ME

I currently work for a non-profit that advocates for sustainable agriculture located just a short walk from our home. My free time is spent actively--lots of cycling, swimming in local lakes, skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, camping, etc. While I've only lived in Minneapolis for a short time, I've had friends here for years, so am pretty familiar with fun happenings. There's plenty of great music, a great folk dance scene, group singing/instrumental opportunities, ample potlucking, amazing parks (one just a block from our house), and incredible food (lots of cute cafes in our neighborhood).

PHILOSOPHY

All things in moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our home has been open to couchsurfing off and on over the past few years, and I'm happy our lives are settled enough at the moment to be able to host again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ridden atop a bus for four hours straight down twisty-curvy, degrading road in the Ecuadorian Andes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to share any of my limited skills--cooking, gardening, Spanish, English, baking, piano, etc... I sometimes travel with my sourdough starter--if you provide me with more flour and an oven, I will definitely bake you bread!
