About Me

Hi! I'm adam and I'm into organic farming, esoteric studies, and world adventure!

I've motorcycle camped through over 35 countries on four continents. I like to absorb language and architecture, hunt for waterfalls, share adventure stories around a camp fire, and stretch while drinking coffee in the morning. I help out wherever I stay by chopping wood, doing dishes, gardening, etc. =)

Who loves not women, wine, and song, remains a fool his whole life long. -Martin Luther

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting foreigners and experienced world travelers.

I have hosted many awesome surfers at my old apartment from various countries, and stayed with couchsurfers in places like Ireland, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, and Czech Republic. Couchsurfing is totally awesome, oneyear I offered my houseboat as a floating couch. =)

Interests

History fascinates me, as do all things cartographic. As I travel I am always making an effort to learn the languages and customs of other countries. I like to cook and read, as well as play piano, shoot pool, and ride motorcycles. I study the esoteric, street lights shut off around me daily, and I know a few extraterrestrials. I spend a lot of time gardening and working outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Funny or historical films.. Any type of music.. especially classic rock, dubstep, classical, and swing. I am reading 1421 right now and I love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Views from mountain passes in the Pyrenees & Alps, views from the tops of massive trees in Costa Rica and Oregon.
Done: Rode a motorcycle to Africa from London via Dublin and Venice. Retrieved my stolen backpack from Algerian gangsters in the Spanish desert using only a very threatening large rock.

The french documentary "HOME" had a profound impact on my life... as did the "Long Way Round/Down" projects involvement with UNICEF. I strive to impact the world positively and hope to one day have something truly amazing to put here like, "reforested Borneo".

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience teaching both English and Spanish. I also like to teach swing dancing and technical tree climbing to anyone who is willing to try!

Play time with my pet raccoon, 4 x 4 rides to the cave at my cousin's farm, free pass to the botanical gardens at the Conservatory in Columbus.
