CURRENT MISSION Learning, Growing, Exploring, Sharing ABOUT ME Hello lovely people of CouchSurfing! I hope you all are having an amazing day! My name is Mickal! I am friendly, humble, neat, outgoing, and always willing to explore new things. I was born in Eritrea, a small country in East Africa, and I came to the United States when I was 4 years old. In college, I studied and lived in Costa Rica with a host family. It was during this time that I had the opportunity to learn from people who had different experiences than me, and I was able to grow as a person. I also learned that although we may have different backgrounds, we're all human and have similarities with one another. That is the reason why I like this website; you can get to know people who you may have not had the opportunity to meet, and learn about them and grow to be a better, more knowledgeable person. PHILOSOPHY You're never too old to learn something new and meet people that can broaden your horizons and make you into a better person.
