CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to find my purpose through traveling, meeting new people, and finding my passions through experiences.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Duluth, MN I grew up with a love for the outdoors and tolerance for cold weather. Moving down to Minneapolis has been a great change for me over the past 5 years and has given me the opportunity to experience new things. From Minnehaha Falls to the Sculpture Garden.

For all of you beer lovers: Williams in Uptown has a great tap list in their basement, but go early unless you want to put up with a crowd. The Happy Gnome in St. Paul has 70 rotating taps, about 400 bottled beers and great atmosphere! The last bar I highly suggest for the beer drinker is Stub and Herb's by the University of Minnesota's East Bank campus - they have over 30 craft beer taps that rotate almost weekly.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't live by anyone's standards but my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted couchsurfers, but am still looking forward to my first surfing experience.

Interests

I love music and hope to one day make it a larger part of my life by working in the music industry in one way or another. Biking, hiking, and roadtrips are other favorite past times.
