My name is Jonathan. I'm 21 years old born and raised in southern New Jersey. Not north jersey they're two different things. I currently work as a canvas worker for a marine company learning upholstery work on yachts. I like to fish, hunt, spend time with my friends kayaking down the river drinking beer or exploring the woods on our atvs. I've always had a sense of wonder but I Never had the financial stability or job schedule that allowed for vacation time. So for my first allowance of time off I spontaneously booked a flight to Dublin for late December. I hope to make my way from there to Cork and then find a way to the U.K. I do smoke both kinds of herb but if you don't that's fine by me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently booked my first European backpacking trip to Ireland and the U.K. This late December. Kind of have an idea on what route I want to take from Dublin to ultimately end back up in Dublin but I want to meet and interact with as many locals as I can I love learning about different cultures and I want to be able to be shown the natural sights that are most beloved by my, (hopefully) many hosts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a dog groomer for about 5 years and really enjoy all animals in general. I was also a contractors apprentice for a year and a half so I'm not too bad with house hold maintenance. I want to learn anything anyone's really willing to share. From knowledge to skills I'm interested in expanding my view on the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences that I've had that might be just the thing they needed to hear. Many facts about random history and botany insights.
