ABOUT ME

Laid back, love the arts, films, photography and all things culinary. Would gladly cook a meal or 2 as a thank you if time permits!

Born in Senegal, raised mostly in Mali, Uganda and Kenya my upbringing solidified my love for travel, learning and engaging with other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to experience a new city/town/country than staying with a local! I grew up with lots of open doors, I think couch surfing is a great extension of that sentiment.

Interests

Both a hobbyist and full time professional photographer. It's truly my greatest passion followed swiftly by all things food. Growing up in such multi-cultural environments has afforded me that chance of trying some extraordinary foods - and in turn learning of similarities you might not expect. Fun fact, nems (Vietnamese imperial rolls) are a common street food in Senegal - I think you can guess why.

Music, Movies, and Books

All things graphic novels. Love classic oldies in terms of movies, also love a great B horror. Music, I've really been digging regional African fusion rock from the 60s and 70s. Big fan of anything instrumental.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perhaps a different perspective of the world. Share stories of past travels, music, a polaroid photo. Hopefully a good laugh.
