Hi! I'm CJ. I was born in Atlanta, GA but raised in Seattle. I'm a Fishmonger at Pike Place Fish in Seattle WA. Before that I worked an assortment of jobs to support my Theater habit. I danced and sang professionally for about 7 years. Theater really taught me to be a more empathetic human being. But, I've always been a lover of people. After years of developing character after character, I realized I hadn't spent enough time developing myself. Tired of the often superficial friendships in the drama word, I hung up the acting hat and dug into creating real lasting friendships. Ultimately, I realized my inner hippie and desire to love everyone I see everyday. It's an everyday adventure, playing yourself, you never know where you it might take you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect. Im all about real connections with people, and this seems like a great medium to foster those connections.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read about other people's adventures. Also, anything about the mind and how it works. Comprehending your own brain is a fun challenge. Movies, I like em, although I find much more drawn to being present and not in front of a screen. Music? Can't live without it. Having taught dance for a number of years I have an appreciation for all types of music but prefer house and disco the most. I have a rather hefty record collection that I like to paw through when I'm bored. Al Green, Sam Cooke, Stevie wonder, the BeeGees , Diana Ross, Journey, Pike Floyd... the list goes on..
