Enjoy the Athens of the Midwest--arts, culture, year-round events in a small city full of green spaces and known for its friendliness and home to writers such as O'Connor, Vonnegut and Robinson. Bike trails wind along the Iowa River and out to the Coralville Resovoir, restaurants and pubs of every type plus coffeeshops offer respite. The University offers sports in season, as well as arts, theatre and film. This small, accessible city is a mecca of everything for anyone without being overwhelming. Buses run, the "Bike Library" rents bikes, and if you like to explore, Amish and a "Field of Dreams" await. See Iowa City's listing in Wikipedia.

I am a single, non-smoking female, working as a freelance journalist and writer, so can take my work with me--and in some cases, would prefer to do so, for research purposes. If this is an exchange, and time and space allows, I might have a good friend (female) accompany me for a short time. But mainly, I work/travel alone and am fastidious in my work and personal habits. While I do not have a pet, if required, I would be glad to look after one, as long as it doesn't have a tendency to run away! :) I am very responsible, glad to abide by any house rules.
