ABOUT ME
I love to travel, meet people, discuss issues, share knowledge and Ideas, exchange professional knowledge. I am deeply interested in getting to know a bit of every aspect of life which was why I chose Journalism and Documentary Filmmaking as a Career Path. I am very open minded, easy going on things (that means prefer the simple solution to most things), love hanging out for drinks esp beer. I am thirsty for information which is why I love to travel.
PHILOSOPHY
I live to make a difference, set examples and showcase extra ordinary scenarios.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am hosting, meeting for drinks, and showing surfers around the city. I also look forward to such from others.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have always been surfing around in Africa, just a little different from CS. I backpacked traveling on road through West Africa, hopped on Motorbikes on the way from from village to village. I walked miles and interact with Ivorian rebels, Monrovia's ex-child combatants, The Fouta Djallon cultural women, etc. I surfed on Porches and balconies under bright moon lights. It sounds crazy but it was a lot of fun.
Interests
I am mostly interested in documentary film making. I particularly like history, politics, Geography, the Sciences, etc. I love to dance on weekends, which helps me a lot after a hectic week. I am interested in sport - Football, Basket, Lawn Tennis. I like to read, write, and discuss with people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love philosophical books, logic, travel books, etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have ever done is deciding one day to see West Africa, pick up a camera, and head on at the back seats of Motorbikes. Awesome.
Teach, Learn, Share
I share my experiences working in underdeveloped countries, dreams and aspirations. I also share my experiences on how to get along in any West African state, and learn from one´s experiences, knowledge, and aspirations.
