I'm new to couchsurfing (sort of). I've been traveling around the country with my girlfriend, & we've been fortunate to find hosts in many places with the help of her couchsurfing experience.

The jist of who I's is - I'm a 29 year old living in Milwaukee while I finish my bachelors in education. I plan to teach high school social studies. I make a living working at a small restaurant as well as playing music. My home environment is perfect for conversation and a home cooked meal. If I'm able to show you some of my favorite parts of Milwaukee, then our experience will be all the better.

I'm in the Riverwest neighborhood, which is a quiet area with pockets of vibrancy. There are a few microbreweries, plenty of restaurants, and a wonderful assortment of music venues.

If you’re an honest, respectful, & laid back human being, I have no doubt that our time will be well spent. Looking forward to meeting more beautiful souls!

-This upcoming spring & summer - I plan to take in many visitors. But when the guest space is taken, my backyard is up for grabs for all who don’t mind camping! I had plenty of Couchsurfers in tents last summer & it was extra fun. I can also supply y’all with a tent & camping gear.

-Many have asked what they can give me as a thanks for letting them stay. This of course is not necessary, but I’ve yet to turn down beer or lunch!

Finally, I won’t be able to host this coming August due to a 4 week trip to Peru!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm able to, I'd love to show my hosts around the city. Aside from that, I can offer a private room in a quiet apartment on a lovely street in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood.
