I'm a pretty independent traveler. I love to plan my trips and make the most of them, so if you host me, I will not pressure you with heavy expectations to show me the entire city (although I'd be glad to do some exploring together if you're down!). That being said, as most people in this community (I think), I use CS to actually meet people (not just to crash on your couch as a complete stranger for a few awkward nights). I do not send random requests; I carefully read profiles and recommendations, so if I request to stay with you, I really hope to get to know you even a tiny bit. That could be through anything ranging from something as simple as a conversation about anything at the beginning/end of the day, to doing an activity together. Hope I'm not asking for too much! :)

I'm from the Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire), but I've lived in many different places away from home for the past few years. I know what it's like to be a little confused by, and unfamiliar with most things around you, but still have a wild desire to explore it all! Don't hesitate to ask me questions if you're curious about me :)
I currently live in Cleveland, Ohio.

I'm currently not traveling as much as before but would love to meet travelers venturing in my city if I'm available, as well as other local CS'ers!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've used CS in the past to find places to stay and meet people during my solo trips, and I have met some unforgettable people, with whom I've had great times. I'm looking for more of that!
I travel less now, but I'm always down to meet and hang out with people traveling in my city if I have time.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

If you're learning French, you can practice with me, or even if you have not started learning, I can teach you a few words if you're interested! Also, I can teach you some dances from my side of the globe as long as you're willing to try and you teach me something new too!
