About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and learn languages

ABOUT ME

I was born in Nigeria. I am the middle child of five. So I'm used to close knit group of people. I've been raised in Nigeria, Canada, and the U.S. So I have a hard time self identifying myself, and there are still weird cultural quirks I come across. But I want to learn more and experience all that I can on a shoestring budget.

PHILOSOPHY

Some of my best decisions in life started with a "why not?"

If you think you can,If you think you can't. You're right

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you're new to a community or passing by a town, want to check out some sites, eat at some great places, or see where people hangout or what they do, you should contact me. And that'd be awesome to experience the same when travelling as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfed with a friend in Valencia with some Italian guys in Erasmus. Was absolutely amazing. Met some great people along my way, how could I possibly turn back now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was leaving Downtown Toronto at night, and the skyscrapers and buildings were illuminated and beautiful and when I touched down in Colorado the mountains were huge and overwhelming. I love jumping between the urban jungle and outdoors.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hey, have a great attitude. Always smiling, and open to randomness.
