My family was struck with ill-fortune and I am now living an independent nomadic lifestyle. I support myself by freelancing as a copywriter and doing the odd bartending gig. I’m known by everyone as a “peripatetic polyglot” and I live up to that label. I'd say I've heavily been influenced by all the cultures I've been exposed to growing up. I think my upbringing was advantageous and would make me an awfully unique/colorful addition to your home (even if only for a little while).

I am ethnically Afro-Colombian however I was born in Belgium and have a Belgian nationality. I moved to Seattle, WA from Brussels when I was 2 for a little while and then to several place around the Middle East before settling in Riyadh, KSA at the age of 5. I grew up there, went to an Indian, a British and an American school before leaving when I turned 18. I moved to Philadelphia for University. Now I’m living in London continuing my studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve always been fortunate enough to travel and it’s something I quite enjoy but now I seek the added bonus of truly getting to know people and making lifelong friends. It’s hard forming meaningful connections as an adult so I hope this will somehow make things easier.
