I'm a pretty cool, humble person that enjoys making a difference in the world even if it's one person at a time.
I'm pretty laid back and calm but I like to have fun. I'm competitive with games (video or physical). I like to explore different places. I'm a huge Foodie so if I'm not careful I'll spend all my money on food and be super fat lol.
I also have a slight Caribbean/American mixed accent.

I'm from Tampa, Florida and the majority of my family is from Jamaica. I'm ethnically diverse. My father is from Jamaica and is 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Black and my mother is from New York (with roots also from Jamaica) and is mixed with Black American, East Indian (India), English, Scottish, and Irish.
I enjoy learning and communicating in different languages and just trying new things in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

★To absorb more of the culture and location from a local's point of view
★To meet good people and make friends
★To expand my mind and broaden my horizons going places and traveling couches without the expense of a hotel or hostel.
It's such a blessing to find this website and save some well-needed money traveling. I greatly appreciate anyone who hosts me.

Interests

★I absolutely love food. :)
I love food of all kinds, it's my favorite passtime, and I'm always willing to try something new at least once.
★I love people.
Having conversations, listening, and learning about another person's world. I enjoy the whole process of making and maintaining a friend. "Each of us needs all of us"
★I love music.
I like all good music. I like:
Conscious hip hop, reggae, merengue, bachata, soca, various japanese artists and Korean artists, dancehall, some radio pop, some country, some instrumentals, some Jazz, some indie rock, old school, everything,
★Movies and Anime.
I like to fall into the world of a movie or anime that gives me something positive to reflect on afterwards or gives me enough energy to fight an army :)
★Martial Arts.
Still learning, but I enjoy building myself to potentially better protect others around me and myself when necessary. It's great for health and energy for life's many tasks and opportunities too.

★Writing.
I like to express myself and actually learn more about myself by writing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

★I spoke on stage in front of my dad's 500+ crowd of friends and family for his funeral to give the eulogy. It's amazing because public speaking is usually out of my comfort zone. But God is good, I did a great and powerful speech for my dad : )
★I jumped hundreds of feet (head first nose dive) free falling off the side of a mountain in Costa Rica while attached to a cord to eventually swing forward over the trees. (A real "face your fears experience" since I'm not fearless of heights)
★Watching my younger brother give the valedictorian speech at his graduation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very fluent in English, so if you need help with that I'm more than willing to do so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a few family dishes.
I can give intellectual conversation if you want or just chitchat.
I can help out around the house with whatever you need, be it chores or errands or anything within my physical human-being abilities :)
I'm a clean and organized person and I respect the wishes and space of those I stay with. Great with kids and pets if you have them. I don't take long showers and I won't eat all of your food :) I don't snore so I think that's definitely something worth sharing to my host ✌
