Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of now, I'm traveling Botswana through the good graces of those on this site. One day I will pay it forward, when my accommodations consist of more than a dorm room!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good. It's proven to be the best way of meeting people abroad for me. We're all connected in little ways; it just takes courage to venture out and find how.

  • reading
  • traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Covered the first visit of the Nigerian President to Botswana in ten years. Photographed in the Office of the President in Gaborone. Seen Victoria Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Watched elephants mating in the Chobezi river in Chobe National Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

What do I have to offer? The perspective of a first time world traveler, honest and unabridged. Aside from that, I hope I'm able to offer enjoyable company and a few laughs.
