We are an easy-going family who have hosted year long high school exchange students from Germany, Switzerland, and Thailand. We hosted a Korean student for three months and are currently acting as a respite host for a Jamaican college student. We have hosted other Jamaican short-term visitors in our home. We enjoy learning about other cultures and everyday adventures while sharing our favorite local events and history with others. We have a cat and an exuberant kid! We're considered "crunchy tree huggers" in our conservative small town, but to the average couch-surfer, we're probably typical mainstream middle-class Midwesterners.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

A friend who also is involved in our exchange program asked us to host some couch-surfers who are coming through our area. We thought we should make this official by posting a profile.

Интересы

We enjoy leisurely biking, taking walks, cultural and community events, music, but we're not above putting in a lazy night at home with a movie on Netflix once in a while!

Музыка, кино и книги

We're nerdy and prefer reading nonfiction. We like a wide variety of music and love comedies.
