Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm mostly surfing. In the future, once I actually have a permanent address, I look forward to offering people a couch or a bunk when they're in town. Recently I met up for coffee with someone new to the Twin Cities, and I had a great time talking to them about why I love it here and all the exciting opportunities and events they could partake in. I'd love to do it again, so if you're new in town, hit me up!
