Участник с 2011
I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and am midwest USA born and raised. I have a wonderful dog (not traveling with me) that is 150 lbs and I have a million pictures of him. I've been working on and off as a barista for almost 15 years as well as a few other significantly more boring jobs along the way. I try to move through the world in a way to leave things as good or better as they were when I found them.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
Lifelong traveler currently taking a pause from the 9 to 5 after a layoff. I love to share stories from the road and learn about the people I meet and the places they call home. I have hosted and been hosted a fair bit back in the 2010s and I am eager to be back.
Музыка, кино и книги
Live music is my favorite kind, but I tend to get the most out of a mosh pit or a dark and dusty warehouse. Let's talk about the way that music subgenres emerge and evolve. I've never been much for movies but I can quote ~a few~ of the classics. When I read, I like to get lost in a fantasy (sword and sorcery) world or deep dive on a particular non-fiction topic. Retro video games are a passion of mine and I love to hear about your favorite video game stories.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
There once was an American who lead his Couchsurfers from Canada and China through the German Alps. It was an honor to show such a beautiful part of the place I had the pleasure of briefly calling home to two awesome people from different parts of the world.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I would love to cook a meal for/with you and teach the things I've learned from making tons of mistakes in the kitchen. I am eager to learn what kind of music makes you dance (or nod your head). Let's share a pot of coffee/tea and swap stories!
Что я могу предложить хостам
One of my greatest pleasures in travel is to go learn about the place I am visiting to the point that I can make a restaurant/activity recommendation of my own to my host/new friends.
Мои интересы
Avid video game enthusiast in the cold times, lover of distance cycling in the warm times. I enjoy cooking meals from a recipe, but am still on the quest to become a better "weeknight" improvisational cook. I help organize in the underground music scene (i.e. throw all night warehouse techno raves) back home ^_^
