CURRENT MISSION
Learn, grow, love life. Find it and share it.
ABOUT ME
I am a traveling man now. I am writing this from The Rupblic of Ireland, but by the time you read this I will likely be on the mainland of Europe. So far I have fouind couchsurfing to be a great way to meet the people of the places you are traveling. I love to play guitar and sing, and I am really working hard daily to get better at it. I would be totally down to jam if somebody wanted, but am also cool to just chat. I love the cultural exchange, am open-minded and learning so much everyday. I am a fan of life.
I am very easy going. Feel free to ask me anything because there's always so much to say!
PHILOSOPHY
Do no harm and help. Pursue knowledge, but never think you understand. Love people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am going to try to be a guest that gives by sharing my experiences but also listens and learns from the people I meet. I can sing you a song (if you want), or we can jam. Maybe I'll cook you some dinner (if you let me know you'd like that) or just have a pint with you.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far so good. A really great time chilling with people who live in the cities I'm visiting. I would say it's totally worthwhile for both parties.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Cool Hand Luke, Hi-Fidelity, The Usual Suspects, Darjeeling Limited
Music: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Ryan Adams, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Fields and I am learning new music everyday. If you host me, in all likeliness I will ask you who your facorite artists are and some traditional music of your country. You can definitely (and should) use my guitar!
Books: The Tao te Ching, Lord of the Flies
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have helped a lot of children enjoy learning and I saved my friend from getting very hurt once (that's 100 points according Rouri). I biked 2800 miles from Boston, MA to Quemado, NM. It took five weeks. I am now adventuring across Europe by myself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am an English Teacher by profession and very good at it. I love playing music, I could teach beginners. I am good at fixing things and setting things up. I like finding creative solutions to physical problems my mcguivering up gizmos. I would love to talk and share about music!
I have had such an interesting journey since I started traveling on Aug. 29th, I would love to share it.
