I'm Mike. I am runner and healthcare data guy. I have lived most of my life within a few hours of Boston in the US, though I spent one year living in Austin, Texas, where I met Anna.

Anna is a French linguist and my amazing wife. She grew up in west Texas, and wound back up in Texas for her PhD. Anna has spent nearly 6 years living in France over the course of her life, so as one recent Swiss acquaintance noted "but, where did you learn to speak French like THIS?"

We moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in December 2016 after traveling the world for six months!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Anna and I started when we were traveling around the world in 2016. We have heard that couch surfing is an excellent way to meet locals and get to know an area better than other options, like AirBNB and hostels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We traveled around the world for the second half of 2016! Certainly not a completely novel idea, but we feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do something so amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our traveling experiences. Anna has spent a ton of time in France (about 6 years) and Mike has travelled a bit more extensively on shorter trips. Mike's an IT guy, so I'm happy to take a look at any computer or WiFi issues you want a hand with.
