I have a doctorate from the University of Massachusetts in International Education and Literacy. This has allowed me to work in 11 different countries and travel to additional 45 countries. This developed my interest in reaching out to people from different cultures and learning from them. I enjoy trekking, forests, cokking delicious meals, growing organic vegetables and fruits and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is an excellent platform to reach out and touch some one and in the process be touched by their friendship. It provide opportunities to learn about a local culture form local people. In the process it becomes a reciprocal opportunity to bond and contribute towards greater understanding through personal friendships
