About Me

I'm a young technology obsessed individual, who is exploring the world, starting with Africa (one country at a time).

MISSION
Travel the world. Meet great people. Share Ideas. Seize every opportunity. Live life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME
In 2015 I saw a ted talk by Amanda Palmer, where she spoke about her experiences couch surfing around the world. Soon, I created an account, and in no time, I had a request from a Cameroonian couch surfer who was travelling through my country. Listening to his views and experiences travelling around Africa, ignited a passion, and I decided that I would do similar.

I completed my University degree in December 2016 and took a leap of faith, where I spent 2 months exploring my country, and a month exploring and travelling around Cameroon, taking freelance jobs on the way to survive. I promise you, I'm hooked.

I'm currently back in my country to complete a mandatory internship and a National Youth Service, and can't wait to get back on the road. In the mean time, I'm challenged to meet as many Fellow travellers as possible, to learn from them, and experience their journeys through their stories.

PHILOSOPHY
Look at the positives and learn from every experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had a lot of very fun travel experiences thanks to connections I've made with other couch surfers. I would love to connect with other couch surfers, and experience thehir journeys through their stories.

Interests

I'm a software engineer who works for clients he meets in his travels, and for remote clients he meets on the internet. I'm in the process of growing my own digital agency(https://past3.com.ng). I love listening to peoples business or process challenges and thinking of ways they can be solved by technology. I watch a lot of anime, read a lot of books (fiction, fantasy, business books, etc). I am inspired by personalities like Gary Vaynerchuk, and listen to a lot of business podcasts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a leap of faith and travelled to a new country with less money than it would take me to survive in my country for a month. And I survived in the new country for a month and made some more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about other people's experiences not only in travelling but in their lives, everyone has an interesting story to share.
