Personal Description

I'm coming to West Africa October 2008-??? I'll be coming with some CS friends (check out my profile list), Josh Hegarty, Sjoukje, Hala and Adam Kendrick- Kewley! We are all experienced travels and are a diverse group of individuals! We'd love if you could host some or all of us as we travel from Morocco down to Senegal, spend time in Cameroon and head back west through Ghana and who knows where else!!!

While I am in West Africa I really hope to find a few great places to spend some deal of time volunteering! With a friend in the peace corps in northern Cameroon and contact at an NGO in Ghana, I have at least two places I want to get involved, but who knows where else I will end up?

I love children and I want to pursue a "career" in sustainable education development- building schools, training local teachers, etc- in different areas of the world that need this kind of work!

I'm also interested in any other development or aid issues and I know I still have a lot of learning to do!

How I Participate in CS

As a nomadic ambassador I try my best to uphold the CS spirit wherever I travel. I've attended numerous meetings in SE Asia, and have organized gatherings in Senegal, Morocco, Singapore, Vietnam, Sacramento and plenty in Seattle! I plan to continue to surf where I can, host when its possible, and bring people together in cities where the surfers are there but may not have networked with each other yet.

I tell EVERYONE about this site. I think my friends have tired from me telling random people who we meet about couchsurfing and how incredible it is for independent travelers. I've convinced quite a few to join up and I will continue to get people involved in this great social project!

CouchSurfing Experience

I've surfed much more than I've hosted and for that I need to repay the CS community one day!

I surfed with:
Akhil in Mumbai March 2007
Mustafa in Cairo August 2007
Diana in Bangkok January 2008

Interests

I love traveling, rock climbing, traveling, biology, cooking, sustainable education and traveling. Did I mention I like to travel?

Seriously, traveling is all I think about, all I dream about, all I write about. Its my passion and my curse and as of now I am indulging myself and diving headfirst into as many travels as I can.

In terms of what interests me during traveling... I love languages, although I haven't spent enough time in any one place to gain fluency. I am a mountain lover, and find beaches usually quite boring. That said I feel I can be content anywhere I go if I can find some adventure there. A little danger, a little excitment, a little friendship, a little love.

In my every action, my every decision there is a reflection of my passion for travel and my constant pursuit of life inside and outside myself.

Also I now know that what I'd like to do in this world involves sustainable education in developing nations. I can't wait for my next trip to West Africa where I can get further involved in my new passion.

Philosophy

Its a small world when you live large.

Live to travel. Travel to live.

The journey is the destination.

YOU'RE COMING WITH!

Music, Movies, Books

OK top 5 movies: Love Actually, The Saint, Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, and Newsies.

I also am really getting into Bollywood movies. I just love the music, the hysteria, the cheese! I can't help myself!

My favorite book used to be The Odyssey but I LOVE Shantaram by Greggory David Roberts. Read it!

I also loved The Alchemist, The Kite Runner, Mountains Beyond Mountains, Three Cups of Tea, Angels of Russia, Into the Wild, Atonement, Snow Falling on Cedars, and more! Anything by Graham Greene is awesome!

I really like classic rock music, led zeppelin, eric clapton pink floyd etc. But truthfully I love music in all forms from every corner of the globe. Nothing stirs emotions and life in people more than experiencing and sharing the music of another culture.

Types of People I enjoy

Genuine, passionate, intelligent people who are open to taking an alternative look at something taken for granted.

People who can offer me something I've never considered. Some new perspective on my life, on the world as a whole or on something tiny.

How about anyone who loves animals!

Or just anyone who likes to travel, have adventures and have fun!

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I've worked with a well educated man trying to scrape by a living to support his 4 daughters by basically volunteering to teach in a mountainous rural elementary school in India. When I asked him if he would ever stop teaching to take a job to make more money, he simply answered that he will never quit because he is needed there.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I'd love to surf on every continent and hope to host people from all over the world as well!! This is the best project I've come across for independent travelers and I'm not afraid to tell everyone I meet.

Well, I had the chance to learn more from Evan and his friend during their stay with me in Tamale. It was really very fantastic. I wish to have them around someday again. They were simple and cool hearted. I saw their way of life very different which I enjoyed learning. I also had time to share with them a little of my culture and others. They are good to have anybody around them. They can be trusted.
Thanks for sharing your lovely time with me.

Evan and Josh stayed in my guest room while they paused a couple days to see a bit of Lomé before continuing to Kpalimé and on to Ghana. They're fascinating to talk with, got lots of great travel tales to swap and we'd stay up to all hours in conversation soooo interesting I would forget I had to get up early for work...

I wish I could have talked more with him, and I especially wish I could make it to the Golden Gardens BBQ. Maybe we'll meet again before he goes off traveling again, but if not--good luck!

During my stay he introduced me to some of his friends, took me to CS events, drove me around and even hosted me on an extremely short notice when I was in a pinch.

Did I mention he's also a cool guy to hang around with? :)

Evan is an absolutely rocking human being is my impression so far. I've spoken with him at every one of the...five? CS events I've been to so far, many of which he's organized and ruthlessly promoted. (I'm still sorry I missed the canoe adventure, Evan!) He's a first rate ambassador and makes everyone feel as if they've always been a friend, just didn't know it yet.

Evan replied right away to my couch surfing request and was very accomodating throughout. I was attending a concert in Seattle and he hooked me up with other couch surfers that were also going. He went out of his way to make sure everything worked out and I was comfortable and was very sincere. He drove me to where I needed to be and offered to host me again if I needed. I was fortunate enough as well to meet some of his friends who were all wonderful. Thanks for an unforgettable first couch surfing experience!

What can I say that hasn't already mentioned (like how he's a great guy and how you should surf with/host him if you get the chance, and what not...)?

Here are two new things that I can add:
1)If you were ever stuck on an island and could only get off the island if you could answer a question regarding world capitals, this is the person you would want to bring to the island (assuming you want to get off the island.)
2)He has great/strong ethics when it comes to pub trivia which I appreciate -the question master wants to know if you know the answer, not if you have an iphone and can search wikipedia.

Thanks Evan for being a strong leader in the CS community up there in Seattle. I had a great time at all of the events.

**UPDATE**
I failed to read Ricky's reference before leaving this one, so Evan's prowess as a trivia team member when it comes to world capitals was apparently nothing new but is worthy of repeating.

MULTIPLE MEETINGS!! Evan and I met up several times during my stay in Seattle (Trivia Night, Gasworks Park, Red Door, Fremont Solstice Festival, Roast Pig Potluck, etc). Evan is a great conversationalist, you can talk to him about nearly everything under the sun. Very mature for his age! Great CS Ambassador (Evan symbolises the spirit of Couch Surfing so well with his passion for traveling and helping out people). Evan even brought his entire family to a CS meeting. Evan knows more capital cities than anyone I have met in my life (perfect for those late night trivia challenges). Would love to travel with Evan one day!!

We're also waiting for you in Paris!!

Looking forward to working with you, Evan!

He's a good and really very funny guy who an make you "laugh to death" (in Vietnamese, we say ""Cuoi den chet", hehe). If you want to find a real friend to talk to and hang out with, it's him. He knows how to have good fun.

My trip to Saigon would not have been as powerful as it was for me had it not been for my time with Evan. Above all this, the best way I could describe Evan is a man of integrity and passion.

Evan is a totally awesome person, extremely easy going and great guest/travel companion/friend/motorbike driver - fellow wine drinker, cheese, dessert and food connoiseur.
I highly recommend him to any future hosts or travel buđdies in the futụrẹ as he as the amazing knack of calming people down in the light of any potential disasters that may arise. This is despite the usual tummy bugs, long bus rides that never end, and points of crisis that occur whenever one travels.
We have had some great trips around Vietnam, Burma and Thailand so far, and I'm very much looking forward to exploring Seattle this summer with him as my guide. Unfortunately I did not spend much time with Evan on his last trip to Vietnam, but I'm sure that he'll be an awesome host when it's my turn to visit his city! Definitely contact Evan if you have any questions about anything to do with travel because I believe he is one of the most selfless and caring people I've ever met, and I'm sure you will feel the same way too.

Evan is one rad person. We first met in Vietnam when we both were riding through the country on our motos. After Vietnam, we travelled together in northern Laos. A month later, after we traveled different countries, we met up once again in Borneo where we hitchhiked our way around. We both have the same travel interests I would consider him a very good friend. From chocopies, hours of shithead, singing to strangers and much more, a lot of memories from SE Asia are with this guy.
We better get the chance to met up and travel again!

I would love to return to Seattle to stay with him, and he is more then welcome in my home- and if he doesnt comply there will be an angry fist shaken his way.
