Hello people of the world 🌍

I'm from Africa, but my tummy is Asian. I seriously love Asian food. 🥘 I'm currently studying but also working part-time as an English tutor. I have students from all over the world from all ages. It's a privelege to help them reach their language goals. 😁

My free time I spend with friends, learning from them and growing with them. I think it's important to have a community ~ because we shape each other. 🌻

I see myself as a pot, being shaped little by little. One day I want to be the best version I could be. I'm already not what I used to be. And I'm so grateful for growing☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the more people we meet , the more we learn. About history, philosophy, kindness, empathy, joy, love. The more we learn, the better humans we become. We become more sensitive to the world around us. We learn to care more about people that are different from us. Life is better, shared with others. I'm on CS to live a fuller, more meaningful life. ❤️

Interests

I love sunshine, sunflowers and yellow 💛

I love being active and for that I take care of what I eat. I try to follow healthy eating habits. And not to get sunburn, but it's a learning process 😉

Currently I'm learning Chinese and Spanish. I really enjoy learning and teaching languages. 😁 It opens up a world of knowledge and fascinating insights.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to music, unfortunately I don't get as much time to read as I'd like but.. Have you ever read..
'Oh, the places you'll go' by Dr. Seuss? 📚

I don't watch a lot of movies~ I prefer hanging out with friends or learning languages ~ but in case I watch something, it's to learn the language or history.

Movies that I probably know word by word though.. Shrek and Mamma Mia 🎉
Who doesn't love Abba? 😆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and a friend hiked Mount Merapi in Indonesia. 🇮🇩 Just before we reached the top, some locals joined us to the summit after offering us some coffee. ☕ It was incredible seeing the volcano, the view looking out over the beautiful town of Bukittinggi and having made new friends on top of my first volcano. 🌋 I was so tired after this, it made it all the more satisfying. 👌🏻
