Been a bicycle touring fool for a long time now. I'm no stranger to hospitality networking and it has been my honor to host many a cyclist and through hiker in Massachusetts. In 2015 I took a year off to wander across North America and that's when I started using CS. As it turns out I met the woman of my dreams through CS while I was cycling trans-continental and after I completed my year-long trip we got married. Now we're settled in North Dakota and happy to extend the courtesy of a roof to wayward travelers. My philosophy is that one hosts because it's simply the right thing to do. I don't expect people to sing for their supper, be interesting, want to hang out with me, or share my spiritual beliefs and political views. If I decline your request it's not because I think you're not cool enough or because I think you voted for Donald Trump- it just means we're busy and it's not a convenient time. ALLERGY ALERT: We have a very affectionate indoor cat named Bertie who sheds like crazy.
