Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet a global group of expatriates. I want to travel the world all over taking a bit of me everywhere I go and a bit of everywhere I go with me.

Interests

I haven't done a lot of things but I want to go BASE jumping, sky diving, kayaking, climb a mountain, go hunting and a host of other outdoorsy activities.

If you are nerdy, we can work on a project together. I have a background in linguistics, literature and pedagogy. I just completed a research on clothing as reinforcing tools for language pedagogy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music but my favorite artists include Asa, Adele, R-Kelly, Brymo, Eminem, John Legend...
Movies, I'm not sure I have any "favorites" at the moment. I watch movies for the entertainment so I do a lot of action movies, black comedy romance, animations, ..not really into adventures although I watch them sometimes.

TBH, after 4years of literature, my interest in books has taken a free-fall but I think my favorite books of all time will include these three: Lola Soneyin's "The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives", Mariama Ba's "So Long a Letter", Aminata Sow Fall's "The Beggars' Strike" and Nawal El Saadawi's "Woman at Point Zero".

While my favorite author is Chimamanda Adichie. (Whose work I wrote about for my undergraduate thesis under the title: "Good and Evil")

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure what will qualify as amazing..but most "outstanding" things I can think of are academic. Like getting the Fulbright!
One of the last people to see the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris before the April, 2019 fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a Yoruba cultural experience: food, language, teach you about the Yoruba culture, the local culture, etc.
If I'm not busy at the time, I can also show you around or at least go to some places with you and introduce to some fun, similarly minded people.
