Pretty simple and down to earth. Sometimes, very abstract/absent minded. I love reading and I'm passionate about art. I work in Development but also Volunteer for the Abuja Literary Society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a fantastic community. Couchsurfing is a great way to see new places through the eyes of locals.
