There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. - Nelson Mandela

There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
-Einstein

When I looked back on my past and think how much time i wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost on futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift.
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a traveler since my mom dragged me around the world in her womb. And now I get to do it on my own. Before I move to Washington D.C. and start a real job, I am backpacking Europe, visiting my sister in Bosnia, and just experiencing the world for all it's worth.

While I am traveling with my friend, Sarah (also 25), we are most excited about meeting other people as we travel, even more so than lots of the sites and monuments, it is just awesome getting to sit and learn about others and their hearts and lives and passions.
