I'm a curious and empathetic young man looking to explore the world and meet great people along the way! I'd rather be tired than bored and love any opportunity to make my story more interesting. I'm quite easygoing. To me life is all about finding a balance. The balance between knowing your greatness and realizing your insignificance; the balance between striving to be the best and being content with life as it is. This applies to diet, exercise... everything.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To meet interesting people anywhere I travel, and give back to travelers. While staying with the family of a good friend in Russia I realized that while I was seeing many places on my travels, I was not learning much more about the way people live and think. I thus reinvented my idea of travel to emphasize spending more time in each location, and spending more time with local people. This way I can hear their perspective of their cities and countries, not that of some sponsored travel website or history book.
