I live in MN and I am blessed by every second of it. From the sights to the people, I am constantly inspired to live a more active and humble way of life. I strive to be always active-biking, running, camping. The reward lies in the early morning sunrises and late nights talking with friends. I love traveling to new places and experiencing different ways of life! My story-telling skills are lacking but I make up for it by having a TON. Can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always enjoy good company and conversations! Even better when I can get fully immersed into another culture and hear life stories.

My goal is to make strangers friends and strange places home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run 2.75 marathons. (Great story for the 0.75!)

Teach, Learn, Share

My goal is to teach others to live life in motion. To explore new places and constantly challenge yourself to set new limits. There are so many incredible opportunities out in the world that we are too timid to reach for. I want to meet others who have done what I attempt to do and LEARN. Learn from their mistakes, stories, and success. We are a community of individuals meant to live life alongside each other, offering support when needed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aim towards optimism in life, strive to succeed and learn to fail. With the right attitude, one shouldn't be afraid to do anything.

I hope to share my love for biking, running, and stories about my experiences encountering new places.
