CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm Eritrean American, love traveling and meeting dope ppl. I have a particular affinity for black people around the world, especially parts with a history of diaspora. I try to do as many new things as possible...but I also punk out a lot...*shrug* Human faults.

PHILOSOPHY

Honestly, let's just be chill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently live in Chicago (my hometown) but super used to having an adventure! Thinking about some impromptu visits to different places in the U.S.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never couchsurfed but crossed some people that did! Met a few people in Puerto Rico who were both hosts & guests for couchsurfing. Meeting both sides of the coin helped me be reassured in the bounds of safety.
