About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Experience, to Live, Love Laugh and Be Happy...spread my Island Philosophy world wide, to learn about different cultures, languages, and gather new alcohol recipes while sharing my island cocktails, my sunshine smile and happiness.

ABOUT ME

I am Awesome...thanx for asking...seriously, I am just full of life. I am a dual citizen Bahamian American. I sing, write and paint...I also make amazing drinks...and I cook well. I am sorta funny a lot of the time...but I can get down and have a serious conversation. I am fluent in French, but really want to learn Italian, German and Norwegian. I can say a couple words in Russian, but not that well. I lived in Paris for 4 years singing house music. Worked at W hotel in San Francisco. I now have my own little beach bar in Nassau Bahamas. And now I want to see more of the world, my experiences have been amazing but I want to see and learn more, because for me life is an on going learning experience which should never be taken for granted.

PHILOSOPHY

'All of We is One" That is my philosophy, we are all a part of a whole and for infinite bigness there is infinite smallness. Plato states in Symposium, “…Human nature was originally one and we were a whole.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So here is my dealio...I want to see as much as I can in as many countries as possible, I would love it if I could stay with you in exchange I can teach you some of my tropical fresh fruit cocktails...like my Rum Cay Punch or my Ginger Switcher or Cucumber Cooler...the list could go on and on. I want to learn about your country, I want to share some of your experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am not an experienced couch surfer...however, my couch has come to rescue for many people that arrived in the Bahamas and needed a place to stay (before couchsurfing.com existed). So now after talking to some friends and then telling me about their experiences...I asked where to sign up and I want to give it a try
