Overview
About Me
I have spent the last 8 years investing my energy to study, volunteer and work in the NGO field. My heart lies with working on sustainable efforts in community development.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I worked with an organization where I spent a year living on a bus touring across Canada doing motivational presentations in high schools. Throughout that time, I would arrange whose couch our team would crash on. It is such a wonderful environment and now I am on here to continue the adventure.
Interests
Coffee (or gin/beer/wine), good food & company.
Things I wish I could do on a daily basis: sit & jump off waterfalls; ride in the back of trucks or motorbikes; music jam sessions; speak Spanish
I love attending concerts...actually, music in general is a huge addiction.
....and I absolutely love baking/cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books
Hmmm, music changes on the daily. But currently I am listening to noname, Sylvan Esso, SZA, Alt-J, Oh Wonder, ODESZA, Vampire Weekend, Alabama Shakes, The Intermission Project, Of Monsters and Men, Fela Kuti, Coeur de Pirate, Milky Chance, Ana Tijoux &&& Takun J (local Liberian rapper). Probably the most random mixed bag of music...
I love all books.
I am not an avid movie watcher, but prefer documentaries or movies that actually bring to light real issues.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I honestly believe, that above all else, being able to have encountered all the people I have met over my life is pretty incredible. Whether our meeting was only for a brief instance, you are able to learn and appreciate all those that you encounter.
How could anything else top human interaction?
What I Can Share with Hosts
