I have a bachelor's degree in architecture and am currently living and working in Senegal for two years with the Peace Corps. Once I finish my service, I plan to travel for a while before beginning a master's degree in international development.

I am a very optimistic person and am very easy-going. I like to take things as they come and live in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best experiences I've had while traveling have been while I was staying with locals. While meeting other travelers is always fun, I am really interested in seeing a more authentic side of the places that I visit and learning about local culture from the insiders.

Interests

Needless to say, I love to travel and explore. I also love spending time outdoors- biking, kayaking, hiking, camping, and just walking around and relaxing. I also enjoy learning about new cultures and different ways of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Wolof, a language spoken in Senegal and a few other countries in West Africa. I'd be happy to teach you some phrases, and talk about life in Senegal!
