CURRENT MISSION

Cross-country ski as much as possible, live through love and not fear.

ABOUT ME

I'm a late-20's, Colorado born, Vermont educated, Ithaca-based, traveler, cross-country skier, runner and dog-lover. I love working with conservation organizations, and land trusts in particular. I like having dinner with good friends, cooking food (that ideally tastes delicious), collecting rocks, mountain views, treehouses, and forests.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My husband and I recently moved to Minnesota and bought a house in Edina. We have a guest room and look forward to having visitors! Well-behaved, dog-friendly dogs welcomed.

My husband and I travel regularly on weekends, often for ski races, and enjoy meeting new people as we go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've had just a few couchsurfing experiences, all wonderfully positive. We've enjoyed the company of our hosts and consider all friends.
