Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who see the world differently. My home is my safe haven and I like to bring people into it so they can experience little bits of what constitute to my entire self. I think it's the same when I spend time with other people in their homes. It's been a filling experience thus far and I hope to experience it with many more people.

I would love to learn how to cook a native dish.

Play a new instrument or learn a song native to the area I visit.

I think I've seen so little of the world and I want to see more through the experiences of, stories from, and conversations with others.

*I don't live in a situation where I can host as I would like but in the future this is something I would love to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fallen in love

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Africa is not a country
Learn: how to be more respectful and loving through my interactions with various people
Share: a hug

What I Can Share with Hosts

you could listen to me 'crack/pop' my back

I'm not sure what I offer
That heavily depends on the type of person
I just cherish certain interactions with people for different reasons so hopefully we can create one meaningful memory together.
