About Me

Confident, worldly and driven. I'm a single father, entrepreneur and ex-military. Stick shifts, cooking up a storm and Saturday Night Live? I dominate them all. Animals are my jam—I've saved snakes, monkeys and everything in between. You'll often find me rocking my superhero cape at the local pet clinic.

When it comes to connections, I am the human equivalent of wi-fi. Whether you're a fellow globetrotter or a local legend, I'm all about forging friendships and sharing laughs. And if you're lucky, I'll treat you to a playlist that will make you move.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria and raised in multiple cities across three continents, I'm like a cultural smoothie on steroids—Nigeria, the USA and India baby! Aquaculture, alternative health sciences, craft beer and web3 are my playgrounds.

Laughter, sarcasm and pure awesome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the ultimate combo: hosting, surfing, delicious food, ice-cold beers and epic stand-up comedy shows! It's all about embracing the YOLO spirit and making the most of life's adventures.

As a host, I love opening up my doors and welcoming fellow explorers into my world. Connecting with people from all walks of life, sharing stories and creating lifelong memories.

As a seasoned surfer - there's nothing quite like meeting people around the world, diving headfirst into unknown territories and experiencing the thrill of new cultures and perspectives. It's the perfect recipe for unforgettable escapades.

Adventure, laughter and good vibes,

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I'm an equal opportunity listener. I groove to just about anything—I'm talking classical symphonies, death metal anthems, hip hop, you name it! My ears are open to all genres, however my playlists are a mishmash of EDM and Afro beats.

I have a bit of a book-buying addiction. Shelves filled to the brim and a dedicated Amazon wishlist. Do I actually read them? Well, that's a different story. I like to think of them as my retirement plan. When I finally have all the time in the world, those books will be waiting patiently for me.

With movies, it's a buffet of genres. While most people savor a movie from start to finish, I watch movies like a series, breaking them into bite-sized chunks. It's like having mini cliffhangers every 15 to 20 minutes. And with TV series—I devour them. Back-to-back episodes, binge-watching marathons—bring it on! Also I'm a Star Wars fan boi and currently rewatching the entire franchise in the right chronology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A tetanus shot gone wrong triggered an auto immune response in my body. Next thing you know, I'm on a whirlwind tour of life, with life support as my trusty sidekick and the ICU as my home away from home. Just when I thought I had collected all the medical badges - a left brain stroke crashed the party. Coma, confusion, doctors scratching their heads—you name it, I had it. They thought they had seen it all, but little did they know, I was about to give them a run for their money. While they were busy giving up on me, I was busy defying medical logic and rewriting the rules. Fought tooth and nail, defying the odds - call it a stubborn streak or an aversion to following the script, but I made a comeback that had them shaking their heads in awe.
