To be in a state of constant searching and questioning is one of the most important aspects of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm up for hosting and showing some people around my little corner of West Africa. We'll go everywhere: the pristine beaches, bustle of Freetown, low-key remote villages w/ some of the best food you've ever had, people who make you feel like you've been good 'ole friends forever, parties with the paramount chief...you know, just a day in the life of a peace corps volunteer ;)
I would love to share this with anyone who's willing...and would love the same adventure wherever I go, whoever I'm with

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has always been so enlightening really getting to know people and how they live, how they relate to others, and just the generous amount of human kindness I see in so many people...
