Overview
About Me
I'm British Nigerian born and raised in London which I love dearly. I first started travelling solo 6 years ago when I spent 2months in Japan working a charity teaching English to orphaned students. It was an amazing experience and I fell in love with the beautiful Japanese culture and vowed myself to learn and seek more of the world.
A couple of years later after I finished studying I decided I wanted to live in asia and booked a one way flight to Hong Kong. It was here that I discovered the amazing couchsurfing community. Every Friday we would meet for food and beers at Mr Wongs (if you know, you ).
Now back in London, I work as a programmer developing mobile apps and try to keep up my travels as much as possible. When I have time I always love showing people around and have this complicated love-hate relationship with the city that has both shaped my character yet is the place I always want to run away from!
Feel free to dm me if we're traveling in the same city or if you just want tips for London
