About Me

I am many things. Mostly an activist. I believe in leaving the world a better place than we found it.

I've lived in between three worlds for the most part of my life so I'm a mix of Euro-African and Asian sensibilities.

Travel always surprises and awakens me, even if it's to a place that's not to far away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing when I was living in the Philippines and wanted to find like-minded people in a place that was supposed to be home. So when I was there, I was active as a host.

I have since returned to Kenya/home so I'm not active anymore unless I'm traveling (mostly for work) and I know I'll have time to spare.

Interests

I like to read and write and try new sports. I like history and philosophy and just discovering new things.

  • traveling
  • sports
  • history

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most kinds of music but could probably live on just reggae. I like to read non-fiction especially memoirs. I watch more series than movies these days, especially comedy and legal dramas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure I can pick only one.

Often the amazing things in life aren't the moments we anticipate, but the ones that happen upon us, the ones that we create when we are most sincere.

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, France, Ghana, Italy, Malaysia, Mauritius, Singapore, South Africa, Swaziland, Switzerland, Tanzania, Uganda, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Philippines, Thailand, United Kingdom
