Raising Future Leaders

ABOUT ME

Currently I work as an Engineer for a N.G.O. doing village development, power and water supply systems and large scale farming around central and northern Uganda.(since 2004) I really like to travel every chance I get but mostly I am here in Africa. With my work I get to meet people from all over the world and I love meeting new people and creating lifelong new friendships... If you want to know more, send me a message and I will answer any questions you may have, better still, you can come and see for yourself The pearl of Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

"But at home one is bound with petty regulations and irksome restraints. instead of being a wild man of the woods, one has become a herd animal. One's individualism is less aparent because there is less scope for it. people do not understand that a wanderer returned views things from a different standpoint, as his life has been spent away in the vast spaces where simplicity is the rule, and not complexity. He feels lost even in great crowds, for nothing and noone seem in sympathy. The people he knows may be good fellows, but they do not understand him, and he does not understand them. Environment is at fault, because it has become foreign to him, and he longs to get back to the bush, the hills, and the plains where he spent the happiest days of his life, for there he felt an exaltation that no civilized land can possibly supply" - Lyel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my home as well as my insights to those visiting East Africa, specifically Uganda whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far CS has been brilliant! For the guest, the opportunity to interact and be with the people who live in the area which you are travelling offers an unparalled expierience to really get a down-to-earth feel for the culture. For the host, to have people come to your home and you can basically show off all the cool stuff that your Country/Culture has to offer and guide people along the best roads to expierience it for themselves..
