About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing person, I like to get the most of every experience and I try to focus on the good stuff of life.
I’ve been travelling since I was five years old and I hope it continues to be this way. Every country I have visited or lived in, every person I’ve met has contributed in one way or another to who I am. I guess my worst fear is having to stay in one place for ever. Though it’s always hard to leave and miss the people you get to know they are always with me in a way.

PHILOSOPHY

Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Luis Bunuel

Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
Salvador Dali

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson Mandela

It always seems impossible until its done
Nelson Mandela

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed several times

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my couchsurfing experiences have always been really great! Spain, France, Uganda, Egypt.. I've had the chance of meeting amazing people.

Interests

My biggest passion is travelling. I also play ultimate Frisbee, I’ve been playing this game for around 5 years and I’ve always been very passionate about it; however, I have to say that since I came to Uganda this game has gained a completely different meaning …. I also love music and nothing makes me feel more comfortable as singing.. Currently I sing with a band in Uganda: Magic Hornz!
