exams and medicine rotations... all took a big part of my time and energy. 
Although I did try to appease the traveller in me but I wasn't able to meet many new people albeit a few good ones. However, my second and most recent visit to US was long, productive, and ambitious. I went out to see, learn, travel and explore. My intentions were to transcend the cultural, religious and traditional boundaries, experience freedom in its totality and see 
the good in people. One of the main reasons why I deliberately tried to couchsurf was to see the real way of living of 
people there. To intermingle with them, celebrate their festivities and not just stick to few people or few areas. As much as my meagre finances allowed me, I travelled, made friends and even made use of marsena philosophy to 'bring the world to your doorstep'. The result, I got to meet many dozens of great people and made some superb friends. From Aji Pillai in Irving to Marsena in 
Chicago, Mark Walden, John & Erin, Celeste & Josaiah, Paul & Sarah, they all made a huge impact on my little world. Victor Barajas from El paso, Tony Heredia from Peoria, Galen Joel from Alaska, Sachin Kotre from india, Marko Benigar from Slovenia, Brian Murphy from Ireland, Ian Beauregard and Clayton Mitchell from Canada, Perronick and Angela from Switzerland & Germany, the 3 swedish boys, the 
Danish Girls on route 66, they are all just so many of them that it seems I have lived a lifetime. Marisol and jason Rubin in NYC, Priyank and Chintan in Dallas, Mike Mendez from Philadelphia, there are just so so many of them. Not just my hope in humanity increased ten-fold but my belief in love found its root again. I not only got 
together with my beloved again but also was lucky enough to spend the most beautiful of time of my life with her. I went to see and meet the world and the world embraced me. I just hope that its just the 
beginning and I meet countless other like them and remain friends with all of them.
