About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see more than I can remember, and remember more than I have seen.

ABOUT ME

In a previous life I studied fine art, African studies and Portuguese. I currently work as a screen printer and sometimes sell my work from time to time. My family heritage is split between America and Dominica. Although my heart was stolen by Brazil after spending 6 months there a few years ago. I tend to live each day as it comes, and do my best to enjoy the little things in life.

PHILOSOPHY

"A day without laughter is a day wasted."
- Charlie Chaplin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By spreading the CouchSurfing word to as many people as possibe, and by offering my couch to anyone who needs a place to stay.

Interests

I enjoy painting, playing Capoeira (brazilian dance/martial art), listening to jazz (and playing it badly on my saxophone), eating sponge cake, and collecting useless facts (like, dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors).
