I am a recently graduated student, a traveler, coming to the US looking for his passion. I like meeting new people and learning different things about myself and this world, establishing new connections. I like playing guitar and singing songs, drawing sometimes, reading literature and listening to music. I am also very interested in Japanese culture, especially in its language and literature!

MISSION
Looking for myself.

PHILOSOPHY
Judgment won't lead anywhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from different cultures, through the communication with someone who's coming from a different cultural background, you can understand yourself better. Also, when you expose yourself to something foreign, It always feels like you are free from all the superstitions and ideas you never liked. It feels like if you were born again. Also, through CS I want to make a lot of international friends, hopefully, lifelong friends.

I have never hosted anyone or used anyone's couch before - I am a newbie! But I hope that my first experience will be as great as my expectations!

Interests

I am interested in many things - Literature (I really like Jack London, he is my favourite!), different kinds of music (I like almost all the music, just need the right mood), art (My favourite artist is Edward Hopper), hiking, climbing , bicycle, camping. I have been really interested in the field of International Development recently, but I still don't know how to get a job in it, so I am trying to figure it out.
