I am currently a graduate student pursuing my masters degree in international development. I am interested specifically in West Africa, as I have traveled there numerous occasions and have family residing there. I am a musician, I play the trumpet and the balafon- a West African xylophone. I like traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
