CURRENT MISSION

i just quited my job and came to silver spring, md to learn more about the US's history and lifestyle here.

ABOUT ME

Like most people, i was dreaming about studying at university and then getting a good job. I've graduated from civil engineering which is the only department that i have always wanted to study. Then i got a job and started working. After working for awhile, i realized that this wasn't what i actually wanted and i resigned from my job. I started backpacking around Europe and Asia. The answer of why i am doing this, is so simple because i just want to see the other parts of the world that i haven't seen yet.

PHILOSOPHY

“I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Reveries of the Solitary Walker

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

once i went to a city that i have never been at , neither i had not known anyone in and it was 9000km (5000miles) far from my home. i knocked the door. A couchsurfer opened it and let me in. She gave me her extra key, introduced me to her friends, spent time with me, taught me the culture. 5 months later, when i was in my city, i got a message from her. i drove to airport and picked up my friend.
That is all about couchsurfing.
