About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel fellowship for 8 months, 6 countries, 2 regions of the world

ABOUT ME

Continually interested in what everyday life is like for people around the world. I love to meet people from other cultures, explore new places, and try new foods.

PHILOSOPHY

"People say that what we are all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think this is what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive." -Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed a handful of times, but each time has been a wonderful experience, learning about people's lives, sharing our experiences, and building friendships around the world.

Interests

I love hiking, camping, canoeing, traveling, and playing traditional African music (Ghanaian and Zimbabwean, mostly). Red wine, dark chocolate, and black coffee are my vices :)
