Hello! My name is Akech and my friends would describe as outgoing, friendly and adventurous. Currently, i'm working as a psychiatric nurse; and looking forward to being able to practice internationally.

I love travelling, nothing brings me more joy than meeting various individuals with different cultures and languages from my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Courchsurfing is a unique and awesome way to travel. Unlike staying in a hotel, you actually get to experience the language and culture of the country in which your travelling to first hand. On top of that, you get to meet and have conversations with like-minded individuals---individuals that refuse to be box in, but rather want to expand their horizons.
