Hey! I’m Yusuf — born in Freetown, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and currently living in the U.S. I’m an aircraft mechanic with an FAA A&P license, working my way through a degree in Aviation Maintenance Management. I’ve also got my eye on a future in aviation as a commercial pilot. ✈️

Outside of work and school, I’m all about meaningful connections, deep convos, and learning new cultures. I’ve been through a lot, and it’s shaped me into someone who values kindness, gratitude, and good vibes. I’m super respectful of people’s space, always down to help out, and I travel with curiosity and humility.

I’ve also got a background in swimming — lifeguard, instructor, and once a competitive swimmer. I love sharing stories, learning from others, and I genuinely enjoy making people feel heard and valued.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet dope humans around the world, learn from different walks of life, and hopefully return the hospitality one day. I believe we grow through shared experience — and there’s something beautiful about strangers turning into friends, even just for a night.

What I Can Share
• Stories from aviation and travel
• Cooking together (I can throw down a little Sierra Leonean dish if you’re up for it)
• Honest convos, deep laughs, and mutual respect
• Help with small repairs or techy stuff (I’m good with my hands — mechanic life 😎)

Final Note
I’m chill, clean, and easygoing. Whether it’s a couch, floor, or a spot on the porch, I’m grateful just to be welcomed. Looking forward to connecting
