We are a married gay couple who enjoy travel and meeting people from other countries, other parts of the US, and even our own state of Minnesota. We are fun and down to earth. We treat others the same way we like to be treated: respectfully and courteously. We'd like to learn about you, your home, and your culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We were introduced by our German friend who used it to find places to stay as he hitchhiked around Canada and the US. We hosted him, and it was an eye-opening experience as we saw our State through his eyes for the first time. CS is a great way to meet new friends and broaden our horizons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A modern condo in a nice part of Minneapolis near the city's lakes and parks. Also close to vibrant, happening Uptown. The bike path is steps from our door. You can swim in Cedar Lake in the summer. Close to downtown (10 min). Close to western suburbs (Minnetonka, St Louis Park, Plymouth). Twenty minutes from the airport and Mall of America. Don't ask us to take you shopping, unless it’s Costco.
Our spare bedroom is quiet and private. You'll have your own bathroom.
If you have a car, you can park it on the street for free. Close to a couple of bus lines.
Free Wifi!
