My family and I are couchsurfing simply because we love to travel and we are excited to host travelers in our exciting Minneapolis neighborhood. Our family of six is producing a documentary film for the next year plus and plan on traveling nationally and internationally to do so. We would love to use Couchsurfing as a means to meet locals and stay with people to help keep our travel budget realistic.

My favorite music is punk/indie rock, but I like all genres and, in fact, used to play in several bands myself. Our family goes up to the Winnipeg Folk Festival every year and we frequently support Minnesota's thriving music scene. My favorite film is "Amelie" (love everything about it from the cinematography to the soundtrack). As an English teacher it is really hard to choose a favorite book, but since I teach it annually and know it so very well, it's hard to look past To Kill A Mockingbird...
