Hey there! My name is Cedric, and I’m a passionate believer that your life can really be what you make of it, it’s all about how you interpret and react to change! Thus, I’m a happy last-minute planner who loves an adventure or meeting new people.

I have a bad habit of frequently searching Google Flights for cheap tickets and booking them, but not planning anything until I’ve arrived (trying to be more proactive though!). I’m always down for a good time, whatever the occasion!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Still new to this whole Couchsurfing thing! I'm just thrilled to have the opportunity to meet some new souls and faces out there in the big ol' world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an avid music listener and creator. My favorite genres are Rock, R&B, Blues. Hip Hop, and Jazz. It's a lot, but there are moments for each one!

My favorite movie would probably have to be Cars, or Stand by Me. Classics.

Favorite book is Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. Great story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I presented my first TEDx talk in Hickory, NC, at age 16. Quite an honor!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to share my limited amount of knowledge with new friends! I was raised in the south, and can show you how to make Grandma's flaky biscuits from scratch. I'll also teach you English or French!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to share with you the art of taking lots of pictures... maybe too many. However, there's a midpoint between taking pictures and making memories.

First, download Google Photos on your mobile device. Next, choose an email account to back your photos up to. Congrats! Now, all your pictures are safe in the cloud! Now, you won't be super upset when your phone falls into the Atlantic ocean :)
