Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have been working across Sub Saharan Africa and Europe for the past year, mainly in finance for economic development but also as a photographer and with startups. I am now taking break from hectic life for a couple of months and try to nurture dimensions I have been neglecting because of my career.
