CURRENT MISSION

Finding knowledge through other people's experiences

ABOUT ME

I'm a goofy guy with a love of meeting people. I dance in grocery stores. My croissants are mediocre. I'm constantly looking to improve myself. Something that seems to intrigue people is the fact that I am Egyptian. That means I tan pretty well. I am also a diabetic, and I have had it since the age of 9. I would say I am very competent in managing my health. I work out a lot and try to watch what I eat. Having diabetes was a major influence in my decision to go into pharmacy.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't harm myself and don't harm others. I don't like killing bugs. I think one of our responsibilities as human beings is to care for each other. So many have problems yet so little show it. This is why I try my best not to judge people. I'm not perfect nor do I know about the trials they face so who am I to criticize them.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm quite new to this!

Interessen

I love to paint and draw and make any type of art. My friends get mad at me because I bring my sketch book whenever we chill. I never know what to say when people ask what style of art I do so here's my website to judge for yourself http://myronlaban.wordpress.com/

I am equally passionate about cooking/baking. I find a great amount of satisfaction in baking my own bread or cooking dinner for my family. I one day want to own a soup kitchen. I have been volunteering to cook community dinners, and I have also had the pleasure to be the guest chef at the Jane Addams Hull-House.

I'm in pharmacy school. I'm quite a nerd when it comes to school, but I have certainly embraced it. Still learning to balance school with social life, working out, and art.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to draw the human figure. I can teach you to breakdance. I can workout with you.

I want to learn about where you come from and what you love. I just want to grow in any way possible.
