About Me

Who am I? I am a writer, a blogger, an engineer and a start-up entrepreneur. I am also a voracious reader, can be super extroverted and introverted. I love being part of awesome social events, such as poetry recitals by the bonfires, music concerts and festivals.

Above all, I love meeting new people who are excited about being a bit of counter-culture and questioning things, defying conventions and letting their individuality shine through.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet like-minded people, and those that will share different perspectives on life. I believe the best way to learn from people is by living with them for certain periods of time. By opening up homes, we open up the world and we are able to read the books of different cultures, regions and appreciate the diversity in the world.

Interests

I am very open minded and liberal, constantly seeking new experiences and sharing these learnings with the people I meet as I learn from them, clearing my ignorance in the process.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am both into fictional and non-fictional. Currently reading some of Ayn Rand's books, a bit of Nassim k Taleb, Leo Tolstoy and Charles Bukowski.

I am into Game of Thrones...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took the first road-trip around Uganda in less than a week, being able to cover all the districts and regions of this small but very diverse country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you how to blog, how to think like an engineer and how to bootstrap businesses. Of course, I will teach you Uganda.

I look to learn all from you, as wide open as you are willing to let me into your world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, my connections around the city, and take you along with me on night-outs.
