Travelling
Description
Helloo, my fellow workawayers 😁, I've been a couchsurfer for about 7 years now (https://couchsurfing.page.link/UdmnQirpVTo947S76) and met other travelers and hosts using workaway before. I'm currently moving into a new phase in life where I just want to take some time off work, longer than my usual vacations. My career as a researcher in nanotechnology (https://www.linkedin.com/in/oyibo-gideon-a6a210b1), although fulfilling at the beginning was beginning to feel more like a prison for about some time now, about a year. I'm looking to just go out into the country, serve and just fellowship with people however I can, without the stress and demands that come with a corporate job. I have a background in solar energy for people who live off grid and/or are setting up their own solar. I installed solar panels in Nigeria before moving to the US and I made the first all-carbon nanotube solar cell for my PhD if you care about that stuff 😏.
I'm super passionate about the outdoors, nature and mountains. Ohhh I love spending time in the mountains. I enjoy hiking and I've climbed about 20 fourteeners in the Colorado Rockies, maybe more, I'm not a peak bagger, I just do it for the fun of it; over half of the high peaks in the white mountains and Catskills, a couple more in the Adirondacks, and a few more scattered over the country (Nevada, SoCal, etc.). You can checkout my Instagram for some stories of my past adventures: (https://www.instagram.com/dkey_strings?igsh=OTdhbmM4cjB3dXI=). I've not posted anything really recent because I've been focusing on enjoying the beauty of nature for myself and not for social media 😅. I do have a million pictures and photo albums I can share of my adventures across the country if you're interested. Always happy to share 😊.
I'm also a musician, part of a reggae band and also play in church. I play the piano and bass guitar and more than willing to share some music with fellow musicians or even teach people interested. I have added screenshots of the references from my couchsurfing profile and always more than happy to hop on a call or even share more references from others if needed. I'm a fun, honest and open book 😊.
