About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Balancing ambition with fun and travel.

ABOUT ME

We are a mid-twenties couple living in Minneapolis. Usually we are very busy people, but we always make sure to keep time for fun and relaxation. We try to live with an eco-friendly mindset, and would really love it if you did too!

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered in Chimbote, Peru. Chimbote is a very impoverished community... no running water, dirt floors, straw walls, 5 people sharing 1 bed. It was an incredibly eye-opening experience. We believe that everyone should see and experience life in a third world country. It inspired us to live more simply and always consider what impact our actions have on the rest of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

We teach children to accept all people. What a great job! We can teach CSers how to cook some delicious meals, explore Minneapolis, play drums or guitar, fix bicycles, juggle, throw pottery, or any other of our assortment of random skills and talents!

We love to learn! Always willing to try new things.

Well, we're offering to share our guest room with you!
