About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue living RESPONSIBLY in spite of all I have been through...

ABOUT ME

CURRENT STATUS: I live in Minnesota at the moment and though unable to host due to my current housing situation, I am able to meet up and network with members and share travel tips.

I am ME who is discovering the new ME everyday and wants to be a better ME tomorrow, so that I can leave behind a good heritage and legacy. Life is an unending journey.

PHILOSOPHY

-Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey
~Alex Noble~
-There is nothing you have that God did not give to you.
- Black is the purest color.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Its an on-going experience; the beautiful, the good and the ugly...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been to Ghana, seen Accra with Ronny (thanks man!!!) and whao!, to cap it all, the taxi cab driver Ronny gave me to the airport drives as if he has the Accra GPS in his brain.
I hosted Ronny in Lagos too...
Met with Lynette in Singapore, shared a dinner and we "nearly" went to a movie except for my busy meetings schedule....I was hosted by Jun-E in Singapore and she was a hostess with the mostess.
Yves and Claude in Abidjan...
Hosted Assata; a Renaissance Woman from USA and she became a loved member of my family beyond the experience.
Had my Couchsurfing horror story with Ben Stanton;http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=A5XT32K and thanking God everyday that it was my properties that was stolen, not my life. Who knows tomorrow?
Had an amazing comeback experience in Australia with my hostess; Hinu. Thank you for the chance to keep believing and living.
I was hosted by Lisa in Berlin and the experience was awesome. Ana hosted me in Madrid, Cees took me off the street in Amsterdam and treated me like a long lost friend, then I realized that the world still has beautiful people.
