About Me

I am an avid traveller, love stories with the world and have a keen interest in social entrepreneurship.

When I was 7, my mum bought me an encyclopedia about animal habitats around the world and I fell in love with the beauty of nature. Since then, I'd wanted to travel the world and a deeper discovery about the world has left me awe-d!

I'm the co-founder of The Maju Collective, where we weave stories for education.

Because of my work, I interact a lot with children and love it- I'd say their beauty is the windows to our souls!

I am also interested in film making, writing and photography. Am always keen to hear and share stories of places.

I love everything spontaneous and take pride in throwing myself into spaces to be creative and in a "whole" with the environment. I love the peace in mountains, but also find the beauty in buzzing cityscapes.

I've had really awesome experiences as a guest through couchsurfing, and now that I have a room to myself I'd love to contribute to the community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people around the world. Simple as that! I'm new to CS, but I'm already super inspired by the community.

Interests

I love a good conversation and tend to talk to people about their dreams. I've got a keen passion in social entrepreneurship and am on a personal mission to connect all change makers in the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a film once, by taking footage of random places when I travel and stitching together some recordings from conversations and interviews I did on the street. One of the best experiences ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up with a personal mantra of Audere Est Facere - to dare is to do. I always think that we make our luck happen when we throw ourselves into spaces and opportunities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a photographer and storyteller, I can leave some stories at your place. I love talking to new people and connecting people of similar interests globally. People tell me they love talking to me about their dreams, because then they feel they are possible.
