It was a lot of fun- instead of doing the normal touristy things, we cooked dinner and walked around downtown. The next time I did it, I was headed to Portland, Oregon and I registered on the Couchsurfing website. It was kind of last minute notice, but I found a nice young girl… Read how I did it…

Maine is amazing! I found a summer job online that included a place to live. I was right in Acadia National Park. I hiked, worked, and travelled around Maine with some of my co-workers. It’s still one of my favorite states.

Also, interesting factoid: Michael Sandel taught seven of the writers of the Simpsons at one time or another. Supposedly, the character of Mr. Burns is partly based on Michael Sandel- I say more in physical appearance than anything else.
