Confident, curious, and always up for a good conversation. I'm a single dad, entrepreneur and ex-military — with a knack for driving stick, whipping up a feast, and consuming cheese by the pound.

Animals? Love them. I've rescued everything from snakes to monkeys, and you’ll often find me volunteering at the local pet clinic.

Born in Lagos, raised across three continents, and now blending cultures like a well-shaken cocktail — Nigeria, the USA and India are all part of my story.

I’m passionate about aquaculture, alternative health sciences, craft beer, and all things web3. If you're lucky, I might just share a playlist that'll have you dancing in no time.

If you're into good food, great music, and a healthy dose of sarcasm — we’ll get along just fine.

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.
