We aren't able to host at the moment because we are in an extremely small studio. Hoping to get a house in the near future, though, so we'll be back in commission.

I'm an academic librarian. That pretty much consumes my life at the moment... Other than that, I'm married with two dogs, Plato and Marx--yes, I'm that nerdy. My husband and I love to travel. I have a (new) personal goal of traveling out of the country at least once per year. I think it's more important than ever right now to create and maintain friendships with people from different cultures and parts of the world.

We don't have a problem hosting someone with a dog (MAYBE 2) if they are house-trained--young puppies are okay--don't chew, and get along with other dogs.

Also, we prefer a couple of days notice so we can adjust our schedules if needed and prepare the loft.
