About Me

Am such a simple, enthusiastic, funny and one who would like to see all people live together as brothers and sisters where race, religion, nationality and political inclination is not a barrier. Above that i am also your regular guy, a devout dreamer in the inside yet I think I come across more as a pragmatic idealist.
I also consider myself to be a cosmopolitan and a global citizen as i love staying with people from all the continent and even though I haven't traveled much outside of East Africa.

Am also working with Asant-Uganda a charity looking after children and their households live a better life. Visit www.asanti-uganda.webnode.com for details

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hosting mostly, but looking forward to couch surf soon.
I'm generally generally available to host and take folks around to places, share my culture and life experience with them. I'm also willing to chat over a cup of tea/coffee and pick your brain to help you find unique places in the city you'll enjoy.

Interests

People, travel, social/political documentaries, languages, music, stories, sunsets, food, new experiences,
I like reading, talking, dancing, biking, hearing and telling stories, eating, hiking, learning sarcasm, trying new things, getting "lost"...
some of my more specific/quirky interests: wildlife photography, medieval history, intercultural exchanges and deciding to live in a neighboring country

Music, Movies, and Books

I must say that Paulo Coelho's book ("The Alchemist", "Veronika Decides To Die", "Aleph","The Zahir" and "Brida") has had a profound effect on me.. I too hope that someday i will meet also with the Alchemist to lead me to my dream.

In 2008 i volunteered for one month in Gulu district Northern Uganda working with local communities to engage them on peace initiatives.
