CURRENT MISSION

New Dog Learning Old Tricks

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going nerd . When I'm not doing that, I'm hanging out with my friends and my sweetie, learning to play the violin, running and biking, watching tv and movies, working some more, and doing other somewhat normal people things.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll try anything once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Bordeaux and Brussels when I was in Europe last year. My hosts were wonderful, and I want to return the favor to other couchsurfers. I've also hosted some surfers from France. I love playing tour guide in Minneapolis.
