I live in Dakar with my husband. I came to Senegal to work in agriculture development. We are easy going, fun, artist/scientist types. We love culture and meeting new people. We love learning, laughing, traveling, and having good times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling to new places is exciting and fun. It's always better to see it from a local perspective than from a tourist perspective. I love to show people around the best places in my area, and like to meet people who do the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Acoustic music of any kind works for me. Movies are good way to fall asleep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a snail truck out of the jungle in Cote d'Ivoire.... ask me and I'll tell you the story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have background in ecology, soil science, botany, and geology, so I get very excited when people have some knowledge of these things. I will even get excited if people show just a little bit of interest in them. I will answer all the questions asked for as long as you want to ask them. You may not want to get me started.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easy going. I eat all types of things. I don't require hot showers. I sleep anywhere under any conditions. I clean up after myself. I think I'm pretty funny, and some people agree with me.

Countries I’ve Lived In
