Don't wait. The time will never be just right. ~ Napoleon Hill ~
ABOUT ME
I think others see me as a happy and positive person. And actually I am :)
I really enjoy life and try to make the most out of it.
I like to travel and discover other cultures and meet new people, because every person and country as their own interesting story to tell.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't give up, your miracles are on the way!
I saw this writen on the roof of a house in Ghana on my first day in Africa. I took a picture of it and still look at it when something is not going the way I want it :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I joined CS a few years ago, but never really used it. Since I am in Sydney I started getting really into it :)
Interests
My interests...of course traveling as probably most CS members :)
I also love salsa dancing, sailing, hanging out with friends, partying, going to the movies, skiing, hiking, zumba and I just signed up for the University hockey team :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the things that I am really proud of is my foundation. I am the chairman of The Optical Foundation. A foundation that does eye testing for children in Ghana and trains Ghanaian Optometry students to become eye specialist in their own country.
Another amazing thing I did is sailing a private boat around the Whitsunday's! Yay! Australia is beautiful!
Teach, Learn, Share
As often said; in one year of traveling your learn more than in one year at school.
And I have to say it's true! Going out of your comfort zone, talking to people out of your normal circle changes someone.
Traveling gave me the confidence that where ever in the world I will go to I can make it!
