About Me

Hi there! I'm [Her Name], a marketing professional working with Pathé, one of the leading film companies in the world. My career has taken me across continents, and I’m currently in Uganda, exploring new opportunities in the movie industry.

I learned about Couchsurfing a few months ago and decided to join when I arrived in Uganda. The idea of connecting with amazing people from different cultures fascinated me!

I’ll soon be heading to Tanzania and other African countries for work and adventure. I’m also passionate about creating opportunities in the film sector, collaborating with talented individuals to help shape the future of cinema in Africa.

While I can’t host at the moment, I’d love to meet fellow travelers, locals, and creatives for a coffee, a city tour, or just a good conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe in genuine human connections. My travels have taught me that the best way to experience a country is through its people.

Film & Media Industry Connections – I’m here to create opportunities in the movie sector by collaborating with filmmakers, marketers, and creatives.
Friendship & Exploring Together – Whether it’s discovering hidden gems, enjoying a good conversation over coffee, or exploring the nightlife, I’m always up for new experiences!
I’m traveling with a team of 10 people who are also eager to meet interesting individuals and connect with creative communities. If you’re interested in media, marketing, or film, we’d love to chat!
