It is always hard to figure out what should go in a section like this.
I am here to meet new friends, to learn about other cultures, and to get to know a bit about what life is like in other places around the world.
I am a former science, math and history teacher who owns his own family farm and does other odd jobs. I also work in the field of international agriculture. I'm an Environmental Scientist by training.
I have Asperger's.
I'm a poet. I'm a philosopher. I'm a day dreamer. I am always asking questions, and searching for answers.
And the one book I would want with me if I were ever stranded on a deserted island - How to build a boat.
Requests
I would love to connect with other poets and short story writers, people willing to help me with my French, or anyone willing to talk about what is happening, in their back yard or around the world.
Friendship only, no romance please.
I have a wife and two children. They keep me busy enough!
I would love to meet someone willing to snail mail with me!
I would love to meet open, funny, thoughtful people who like the fact that we are not all the same, and do not all think the same. I want to learn from the way you see the world, and let you in on how I see the world as well!
And by the way, I have no money, so don't ask.
Language Exchange Requests
I know some basic French, but knowledge of languages would be a big help in my profession. I would also like to pick up some Russian and some German as well.
