About Me

CURRENT MISSION

explore life and connect with others

ABOUT ME

I am pretty open and relaxed person. I try to be as genuine and honest as possible. I tend to be a bit flighty and spontaneous and love meeting people who share the same lifestyle. If you want to go drive and hour or two north to randomly see the night sky and star gaze, I'd be ecstatic and down in a heartbeat. I love to go to smaller bars and watch live music or just enjoy laughing with friends. I love traveling and exploring around and want to share that with others.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in treating everyone with a warm and open heart. I want someone to feel as comfortable as they can and have the feeling they can ask for anything without fear

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been in Minneapolis for 5 years now and love meeting people from other places and showing them around to the different neighborhoods and interesting sights that a traveler wouldn't see on their own. I have been apart of many International Buddy programs meeting other international students and people and showing them around, giving suggestions of awesome things to do in and out of the city. I have a car and love driving so I am totally willing to take day trips to cities like Duluth or RedWing to explore other sights out of Minneapolis.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

LOVED IT. Everyone i've hosted have been so awesome and real, and the people I've stayed with have been so helpful and generous it doesn't seem real that people like this exist in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much lived under a pop culture rock while I was young and haven't seen most cult classics or really many popular movies

I like lots of music. except country. but I really am getting into Balkan and Bluesey stuff and a lot of Funk. And garage rock. I love brass instruments so anything with that you can't go wrong. I prefer live music, I love going to shows and being in the crowd dancing or listening it's all good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydiving, working with refugees in Denmark, climbing Huayna Picchu in Peru,

Flying at night over South America as a full moon was rising, a beautiful deep orange/red hue. Beneath the rising moon was a heavy lightning storm which produced big flashes of light in the clouds. It was simply electrifying to watch.
