CURRENT MISSION

I'm pretty settled into Minneapolis at the moment. I live in Northeast Minneapolis, close to downtown Minneapolis (but Northeast is more fun anyway...). I live in a small 1 bedroom with a great view of downtown. I love to meet people from all over the world and offer some tips on what to do and see in Minneapolis.

ABOUT ME

I was at Lush cosmetics in New Orleans the other day and, based on my color choices, the makeup people said I was wise, indecisive and passionate. My friends laughed and said it was ridiculously accurate. I think I could have picked any colors and they could have labeled them any traits and they would have seemed accurate enough. But there you have it—I am wise, indecisive and passionate.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn, grow, share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have been only a guest and helped my good friend host several surfers. Now I'm a little more settled and have a comfy couch and a queen-sized air mattress to offer.

I've surfed on couches in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Turkey and Maldives...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just ran a half marathon on an injured knee. I felt pretty good about that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love studying the social sciences. I love being a bit uncomfortable and out of my element. I love observing and interacting with all things foreign.
