I want to experience the world with all of its colors, cultures, smells, and tongues. I want to fall in love, I want to have a family, I want myself, my friends, and my family to prosper. I want to meet you all, but it's not possible. So I'll settle for a few good eggs.

Born in a small town in the rural state of Maine. I am an avid lover of nature, being surrounded by it my entire life. Passionate about world harmony, trade, politics, languages, and writing, I'm sure we'll find something to talk about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling in the hopes of meeting new people, learning about different cultures and ways of living, and trying to do it with next to nothing in my pocket till the end of time. I will have spent 3 months in Serbia WWOOFing come the end of June, 2016, and I will be headed to North and Western Europe. I am sure this won't be my last time traveling to Europe, and while I'm here I will be visiting Germany, France, Ireland, and who knows what other countries, or how long this adventure will truly last for. Currently am in Ireland.

Interests

Anything to do with the outdoors, politics, economics, trade relations,
Cultural exchanges, and all social sciences, I always want to talk about, learn about, and get differing opinions about these wide and varied subjects. It helps when they're discussed over a cup of tea/coffee and a cigarette.

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk music seems to grab my attention no matter what culture or language it comes from. Literature is mostly distopian, sad, and dark. I love Franz Kafka, Joseph Conrad, Kurt Vonnegut, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not so much that I did it as I was lucky enough to experience love at first sight.

Teach, Learn, Share

English of course. Your language as well, I would like to learn some of. And we can share our experiences, discuss differences in culture, and hopefully realize that no matter the religion, language, culture, or skin color, we're all people, human beings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not sure. I can share with you my life story, play you some music on my harmonicas, share a poem or two, serious or otherwise, and whatever else comes up during my visit.
