About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to continue the adventure and rediscover America after so long abroad

ABOUT ME

we are a couple, 27 and 29, U.S. born but have spent many cumulative years outside the country, respectful, like to have fun with people of all ages and lifestyles... We run a small cafe in Minneapolis during the warmer months!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we spent many a night in the good company of fellow CSers on our travels on bicycle through Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia... now that we are back in the U.S. we are excited to repay that hospitality as best as we can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

we were unofficially couchsurfing at the appartment of a friend who infact is a member of this community, he let us know about this awesome cyber-age reinvention of travellers hospitality... and we ended up meeting really wonderful people... now we're hooked
