About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To provide the most comfortable couch in Minneapolis to weary travelers looking to see the city from the inside out.

ABOUT ME

I am a fellow traveler who recently bought a house in Minneapolis. While I am very eager to get out and travel again very soon, I also need to make some money, and in the mean time, am opening up my couch to anyone wanting to be in Minneapolis and experience the "City of Lakes" from a native's perspective. I live with two other guys who are also very excited about putting the couches we have to work. I have traveled extensively in Central and South America as well as Australia, Fiji and Thailand and have met all kinds of awesome people while doing so and want to do my part to give travelers a feel for the hidden gem of the Midwest, Minneapolis, a place largely unexplored by those Outside the country. I am also looking to travel some more in the future and plan on doing some couch surfing in my near future.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is my god

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hmmm...Biked the "Death Road" in Bolivia, that was pretty amazing, almost as amazing as how comfortable my couch is!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Minneapolis is a fabulous city for biking, and I can be your guide to the Minneapolis as seen on cycle. I can also introduce you to the best places to see concerts, of which there are many here, especially during summer. I would also like to sharpen up my spanish with anyone que habla.
