CURRENT MISSION

Live in Berlin for a bit. See everywhere else from here.

ABOUT ME

I've suffered from an incurable case of itchy feet ever since my childhood in Africa - causing me to live far more of my life outside of the USA than in it. I'm happiest on the road and officially addicted to life lived in movement. I'm hanging my hat in Berlin, Germany at the moment - come visit. I like Belgian beer, Ethiopian coffee, and dream of bottomless bowls of white queso with jalapenos.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is a journey and the journey itself is home." - Basho

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Working on it. Inspired by all the good things said by friends.
