CURRENT MISSION The world is my oyster. ABOUT ME Wandering nomad. Eternal optimist. Currently living in Brussels. After a year here I'm still not sure what to expect (from the city, from myself, from both of us in terms of getting along). Set myself a deadline of staying for 3 years. Deadline changes as often as it rains in this country: very very often. PHILOSOPHY A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm a happy host. A random participant. Never a surfer. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE CS seems to be highly addictive. I guess to be a couchsurfer means you can't get stranded no matter where you are. As a host, I'm always excited at the thought that a new friend might be ringing my bell anytime soon. The world is one big colorful couch!
Music, Movies, and Books
Plenty of all. music: reggae, afrobeat, soul, funk, world music dancehall, hiphop, dub. Currently listening excessively to Fat Freddy's Drop. Movies: about odd+funny people, Austrian movies, movies about Africa, movies about gangsters & hustlers, documentaries and some series (Luther, The Wire, Dexter). Books: African novels, Scandinavian crime, worldwide fiction, books of photographs. JR is my favourite artist.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I love storms with thunder and lightning. Shouldn't necessarily be a life-threatening one, just a heavenly power play best watched with a glass of wine from the couch. Happens every so often but that's the magic. Seeing the same thing everyday would be lame.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my home, my ears, my views and some of my grandmother's recipes. I'd like to learn more French, more Yoga and how to play the Saxophone.
My Interests
I have lots of interests yet not that many talents. That is very true for music, sports and gardening. However, I'm a reasonable cook and baker. I'm a good listener and a bad advisor. Grewing up in the countryside has left some traces. I'm not an outdoor addict but a walk in the woods always makes me happy. If there is a lake around, even better. I love cinemas, theatres and Nigerian novels, beating my parents in scrabble, swimming outdoors, going to concerts an festivals. Spicy food, reggae vibes and stormy weather make my day.
