Overview
About Me
What to say, im a friendly and open minded person. Love to meet travellers and exchange experiences. Always up for a good laugh.
Not much into drinking, but the occasional beer sounds good.
I love to travel everywhere to meet and interact with new cultures.
Im currently working on my own geodesic domes project called Rustic Domes, its a whole new adventure to me, and its teaching me lots of new things.
Im very down to earth, and super chilled out, and sometimes even spaced out :p
I enjoy the most, profound conversations about life and its challenges, opening my heart to share personal past experiences, and listen to others sharing their own personal experience of Being.

Im sorry to all unanswered couchsurfers requests. for some reason, i get lots of messages everyday and can't host everyone all the time or answer everyone, so if i won't be able to reach you in time, im sorry to miss your smile or your sharing. Hope you can get some other host in time. To all of you, best of luck and safe travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For a long time i used my friends couch's to sleep for a day or two. I tought it was a good karma to give the universe back a litlle.
Finally i have a home of my own, not much, but i have a spare room, that's almost always free.
Also in Lagos not much happening, and in winter can get a bit isolated, so its a way to meet new people, for a couple days, make networking, and maybe some good friendships.
Interests
Im interested in natural building, trekking, spiritual search ( do not confuse my intriguing and curiosity for the human mind and the questioning ability, with rituals,dogmas or any sort of cult/sect or religion, gurus or whatever)
i always enjoy a good movie, or a good music. Playing guitar, hanging out with friends,boardgames, geodesic domes,

Music: Pink Floyd, Fleet Foxes, Kings of Convenience, Ali Farka Touré, Bombino, Debashish Bhattacharya, Rokia Traoré, so many other worth mentioning...
