I want to meet new friends and see their city and country through their own eyes and hear their stories. People have always intrigued me. I wanted to know everyone in my class and at work, the foreign exchange students, anyone that entered my world. It started with books, and then I looked up and saw a living library around me: endless characters to meet and stories to share. I wondered what I was searching for, until I realized I wasn’t searching at all, I was exploring. Some people explore the wilderness, history, the sky. I like to explore people: how they live, how they’re happy, what they see.
