CURRENT MISSION

Absorb.

ABOUT ME

We love engaging conversation and have a big home we love to share. We have both extensively traveled Europe due to some amazing opportunities, and want to extend our welcome to others who might want to see our part of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Every break from monotony, every alternative viewpoint, every threat to the status quo is a stepping stone to building wisdom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can offer more than a couch, rather some calming quiet quarters and a reprieve from the hectic demands of couchsurfing. Of course if it is your first and only night in Sioux Falls we may try to coerce you to experience otherwise...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met people through couchsurfing that I've only been able to spend a short time with, but feel as if we are forever connected. Although my intentions to see every one of them again will never be entirely fulfilled, I feel that because of CS we have friends throughout the world that would take us in as family.

Jordon:
I know a little about everything and a lot about a little. I can help you polish your Castellano Spanish, and maybe you could do the same. I am a good host and love to show people the better side of this city.
