ABOUT ME - just a girl who enjoys good people, good food and new experiences. I’ve tried to settle down but can’t seem to shake the urge to see the world and learn new languages and ways of life.

Currently living in the Casamance region of Senegal.

PHILOSOPHY Balance and timing are everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to stay with friends or friends of friends while traveling. I love the cultural exchange and the opportunity to find goodness in so many people.

I also love hosting. It gives me a chance to revisit my town, while connecting with people from other perspectives and/or cultures.
