I am a from St. Paul, Minnesota. I am avid cyclist, and use Couchsurfting primarily to find hosts on my bike tours.

I have completed two large bike tours:
1. Minneapolis, MN to Seattle, WA, August 2016, 2,032 miles, 23 days
2. Coast-to-coast across the USA, San Francisco, CA to Columbia, SC, fall of 2017, 5,312 miles, 94 days.

I’ve also bicycled the North Shore in Minnesota along Lake Superior.

I currently work for the State of Minnesota in environmental protection.

Unfortunately I rent a very small apartment in St. Paul, Minnesota, so I do not have any space to host. When the day comes when I own my own home, it will certainly be open to travelers!
