CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I was born in San Francisco, California. I left the U.S. to live in Africa for about 16 years getting an elementary, middle school and high school education in Africa.
I returned to the U.S. when I was 16. I have lived in four states (California, Michigan Utah, and Arizona).
After graduating from college traveled around Europe to France, Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg.
I speak three languages fluently French, English and Yoruba.
My dream in life is to live in the Middle East and visit Libya, Algeria and Egypt.
PHILOSOPHY
Existentialism and objectivism.
Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Meeting people and learning about different cultures give me great joy, consequently, my house is available for anyone who wants to reside for a short term basis. Three days to be precise.
I will also try to be active in the couchsurfing community in Los Angeles as much as I can because I enjoy meeting other world travelers who share the same values like me.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I went to Storrs, Connecticut for a conference and I lived with Molly Harrison for a night. It was the best experience of my life because she was very sweet, warm hearted, kind and hospitable.
I just returned from Latin America after a week living with a wonderful lady Patricia Espinoza. It was a life changing experience. Meeting someone with a different cultural heritage.
Patricia treated me with dignity, respect and honor. I cannot express how thankful I am for www.couchsurfing.com. So far my experience with people that I have stayed with has been great.

Insegna, impara, condividi
I like to interact with people who have strong political opinions or who are opinionated in general. I believe that opinionated people are good conversationalist. I don't like people who are politically correct. If you hate something, don't hesitate to say it. And don't hesitate to share your views with me. I would like to hear them.
