Hello! My name is Brian and I'm a 24 years old (young?) and live in Durham, North Carolina, USA. An introduction to me: I'm passionate about Finance, my Family, Self-Education, Traveling, Deep Conversations, and Giving Back . My other interests include psychology, philosophy, reading, making to do lists and people watching. I love enjoying the little things in life too, like a new beautiful view or connecting with strangers...like you. I value kindness. I think you can tell a lot about someone's character about how they treat strangers. I enjoy being silly but also love nothing more than deep and meaningful conversations. I love adults who still can feel a child-like sense of wonder in the world and I'm known to be passionate about the people and topics that I love. I'm very much a people person while also enjoying and needing my time alone. I'm always aiming to be a better person. Of course I'm always down for a good time at a party, bar, or club as I can elevate the mood of the night. I enjoy anything life throws my way. I am (American) with Italian/Lebanese/Palestinian/Polish blood. I want to start hosting guests as I am now unable to travel due to starting a new job as a derivatives analyst. *************I’m 5 minutes from the train station and 1 minute from the local bus route. Im a 15 minute drive from the airport and I’m just a 5 minute walk from the heart of historic downtown Durham! Duke is a 5 minute drive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the interactions between two stranger and the strength of truth that is revealed while getting to know each other. I prefer intimacy in conversations between two rather than large groups. I love people and odds are we will have an interesting conversation or night if i'm feeling in a party mood.
