I was born in Amisano, a small subsistence farming village hidden between Cape Coast and Elmina, Ghana. At the age of 11, I had the opportunity to move to Paramaribo, Suriname in pursuit of a better education. I lived in Suriname for seven years. I went on to do two years of high school in North Carolina and a post-graduate year in New Hampshire before attending Harvard College. I graduated this past may.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I had no idea what I wanted to do after graduating so I'm taking some time to get to know the people, culture and work of Argentina in the hopes of evetually realizing my own path in life. There are many paths in life and I believe the more people I meet and talk to, the more experiences I have, the more I'll come to understand what to do with my life.
