CURRENT MISSION

To transition into My DESTINY as a WORLD-CLASS PERFORMER, making New York City my homebase as I create my "Borderless Life".

ABOUT ME

I am a first generation Ghanaian, born and raised in the United States, who has traveled and lived abroad, and is ready for MORE!

I am a passionate person who strives to thrive and make a positive impact on others while leaving the world a better place than I found it. I was raised to start by being the kind of house guest who leaves someone's home cleaner than I found it :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day as if it is your FIRST!

I live to CREATE, perform, experience, and explore.

No coincidences.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ideally, I am looking to connect with well-meaning, kindhearted, gracious, peaceful, hospitable people from all walks of life. Beyond a place to lay my head, I am eager to learn and experience new cultures directly from those who live to tell their stories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well. I met two of my closest friends through my voyage to South Afrika. My friend in San Francisco, California put me in touch with a good friend of hers in Johannesburg, aka Jo'berg. This friend, and her husband, met my friend & I at the airport. We had dinner, spent some time with this lovely couple, then continued to travel. Towards the end of our two weeks, my traveling partner & I had been scammed out of a place to stay (long story), so who took us in? The gracious Jo'berg couple! A year later, they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, and we've been great friends ever since :)

Interesses

ALL kinds of music & performance, Musical Theatre, dance, writing, poetry, tennis, basketball, swimming (though I could use lessons), trying new cuisine, learning languages, and WORLD TRAVEL of course!

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Exiting the "Door of No Return" in the Slave Dungeons of Cape Coast Castle & Elmina Castle in Cape Coast, Ghana, West Afrika.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

While residing in Ghana, I learned to wash ALL clothes (including jeans and towels) by hand, and to bathe with half a bucket of water when necessary.

In South Afrika, I had countless cultural "a-ha" moments... including learning about the Politics of being "Colored"...

In Canada, I learned the art of putting gravy on french fries (mmm... Poutine...)

I'd love to learn to speak my Mother tongue Twi, and French fluently.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

With the generous, kind, amazing hosts I am fortunate to meet, I can share my experiences, socio-cultural perspectives and fun(ny) stories of living in different countries and continents ~ I'm quite the vivid storyteller once you get me going! I can also share a wealth of practical advice and resources regarding ways to go about living abroad for extended periods of time or even becoming a part-time or full-throttle expat. ☺️
