I'm always curious! I studied international politics and economics in college, traveled through Europe after graduating, and lived and worked in Australia for a year. I recently moved back from Virginia after working as a news reporter, and now I'm back in my favorite city of the world: Minneapolis.

My boyfriend and I are making reparations on our new home, so we are not able to host at the moment. But, if you're passing through and would like to meet some locals, give me a shout!

PHILOSOPHY

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love helping people cook (I'm better at eating the food than cooking it) so I help couchsurfing hosts make delicious food. I also have great wine tastes. And I'm great at tasting wine too.I love swapping music tastes (or just having jam sessions if instruments are available), talking about travels, and helping people re-fall in love with their city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE the couchsurfing community--so many open-minded and fun individuals from every background. I have only had good experiences so far and I am looking forward to many more
