I was born in Senegal, raised there, Zimbabwe and Germany. I cannot stay in one place and have been in Portugal since the end of 2014 and am loving it! I am weird, have an international mish-mash of an accent and am funny. Very funny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to come into contact with people I usually wouldn't. I work in an international company, but want to meet people outside of the work bubble.

Interests

I like to distract myself, with thoughts, lights, a glass of red and enjoying life in the moment for what it is. I also like and need to expand my horizons, and love to be surprised with things I thought I knew and can see in a new light and things I could never imagine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any book by Guy Gavriel Kay, followed by Terry Pratchett. Currently loving Shantaram.

Wes Anderson, the Coen Brothers, Jim Jarmusch, Tarantino.

Hanggai, Kana-Boon and Sakanaction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tried to catch an apple and had it roll down one arm, across my back and down my other arm into my hand. And then a thousand fails trying to repeat that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to cook new dishes and would love to meet people who help me Japanese and Mandarin.

I can share nice places to go out and drink in Lisboa, and I can teach...dunno...will have to discover that myself too.
