I am a hack scribbler and write things: poetry, stories. I also read a lot of stories and like hearing other people's stories. Sometimes I am quite introverted, but I take pleasure in honest conversations and people who are ready to go beyond their comfort zones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My initial aim was to travel. Well, once in 2014 I couchsourfed in South Miami, then later on in Diani Beach in Kenya. I also love connecting with people who visit Madison, my second home!

Interests

I am a grad student by day, and night and most of the time I am either reading or writing. I also keep an active blog where I occasionally go to mop! I can also come up with exhilarating stories-most of them true.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to Mosdef, Mahler and Batok...in that order.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro 8 years ago, lost two toenails and met one of my favourite friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught Swahili in the USA for 3 years now and love it when my friends learn words from me.

I am arguably the best maker of Swahili samosas and will be willing to teach you.
