CURRENT MISSION

To find peace and love.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, but my family is from Jamaica (which makes me 'Jamerican'). I have a huge family and spent most of my childhood sharing one bedroom with 3 siblings, without the means to do much traveling or virtually anything that cost money. So i'm currently 'making up for lost times'...eating 3 meals a day, buying clothing, seeing new places, etc. I'm an urbanite at heart, and I'd like to visit as many cities as possible in my lifetime. But I do love "the great outdoors", especially anything close to a body of water.

Math is my thing, and I love teaching/tutoring others any chance I get. Other interests include spoken word poetry, theater, reading novels/writing stories, frisbee, ping pong, pool, video games, walking EVERYWHERE, running, game nights, philosophical conversations, brain teasers, and dancing (to basically everything). I'm a very energetic person, and I try to stay active everyday.

Personality-wise, I am very friendly and easy-going towards just about everyone. I'm usually laughing or smiling (or both), and I try to make others smile and laugh just as often. I can be very thoughtful and introverted at times, but i'm secretly very social and would generally prefer to be around good people than to be by myself.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to host and/or show someone around if given the chance. Not to boast, but I think I make a pretty good tour guide (in fact, I used to be a tour guide at my school).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Overall, I've had incredible experiences with CS through surfing, hosting, and meetups in different cities. I've been using it since 2010 and I've met so made wonderful friends and memories along the way. Would love to exchange CS stories with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being from NYC, I'm not used to seeing many (if any) stars in the sky. So when I went to the Galapagos and saw every inch of the night sky covered in stars, I must have stared at it for at least an hour.
