ABOUT ME

My name's Mark, and I live in Bangor, ME. Getting my PhD at the University of Maine. I am a former special education teacher in Raleigh, NC. I love to sing karaoke and dance. Like to travel, camping, workout, shop and love to go to the movies. I'm a down to earth and hard working person who is very goal-orientated. I'm a huge Buffalo Bills fan as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest, never give up and stand up for what you believe in, even when you're alone!

"Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." Toby Reynolds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this and am looking forward to the new experiences and opportunities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't mind sleeping on the couch or even on the floor. In fact, at times I'd rather sleep on a floor or couch than my own bed. I've stayed on the couch/floor with family, friends and people I met randomly when in college.
