About Me

I am a Branson Center alumni and clean energy entrepreneur. I design and build solar energy micro-grid systems. Playing an active role in helping Africa solve it's energy challenges is something that inspires me.

Most of my trips are business or work related and i take time to weave in some fun along the way. I love traveling and meeting different people.

I love good food, art, wine and i am a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I am a good listener and also know how to engage in great conversations with my host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to connect with people, build networks. Couch surfing gives me a platform to engage in discussions that provide me with insight on why people do what they do, understand their goals in life and see how i can play a small role to making that possible. I need this understanding to be able to design experiences that are people focused.

This platform is just an awesome platform to be on. In a way, it helps to keep me grounded when i meet new folk.

Interests

I love to be free , to travel the world, see new places, meet new people and live life to the full. I also honor and respect the fact that we all have differences which make us unique and wonderful beings.

I love good food, meeting locals and immersing myself in the experience of the places i visit.
