About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Write it all down.

ABOUT ME

We're lifelong Minnesotans, originally hailing from the country and the deep suburbs, though we now live in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. We love to cook (well, Bri likes to drink wine while Matt cooks), explore the city, watch good TV, read good books, and take on DIY projects here at the house.

Summer's the best time to be a Minnesotan, and we fill our days with farmers markets, trips to the cabin, and walks with our dog. Winter's rougher, and we find ourselves drinking tea and wine in equal measure.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy. I drop my fruits like a ripe tree." --Henry Miller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Matt and I are preparing for our big four-month honeymoon. We've got our leaves from work all sorted out, and we're taking off for Iceland at the end of July. We'll be all over Europe during this trip, the first of many (we hope!), and are hoping to meet up with some great locals to make sure we're not missing something great.

Interests

Good food, good company, lots of wine, bike riding, writing, Twins baseball, travel, movies, adventures, story tellers, cooking, dancing (admittedly, Bri likes this more than Matt does), tea, pubs, bonfires, weekends at the cabin, Irish trad music, people-watching in airports, and general merriment. If it's a good time, we're probably in.
