CURRENT MISSION

To be a citizen of the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a TEFL Volunteer in Ukraine, trying to stake out a place for myself in the educational system. I am getting back into the Couchsurfing experience and I hope to meet new people and do some traveling while I'm living in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a place to sleep. I'd also like to meet locals, make new friends, and practice my Ukrainian/Russian while I am living here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was fortunate enough to see a woman give birth to a beautiful baby boy in the village of Njawara, North Bank Division, The Gambia. Not only was it a great act of friendship to be called in to witness the joy of birth, but to have my African name of Moudu bestowed upon the boy was an amazing honor and a bond that can never be broken.
