Mission:

Is to experience different countries and cultures, but more so experience it from the point of view of the locals rather than commercially.

Learning to be short and concise:

I'm interested in culture, learning something new, being introduced to ideas, new information and generally exploring what the world has on offer.

Always have travel blues.

One last thing; I'm more for the like-minded, experiences, less for the wild n' out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Aside minimizing costs, which is to state the obvious I've found that I never understand a location if I am not discussing or living it through an experienced person's eyes.

It is more important for me to leave with a wealth a knowledge, than a bunch of photos that do not really represent the country.

Interests

• culture
• dancing
• traveling
• blues

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Great Music is Great Music regardless of genre, but my favorite era's 80s/90s, mix of Hip Hop, R&B, Garage, Soulful House and International sounds.

Movies: I love Comedy and Drama, some movies I've enjoyed/love: Up, Inside Out, Despicable Me, Blue Streak, Drumline, The Shawshank Redemption, City of God, Hangover, Wild Tales, The Dark Knight Rises plus many more.

Tend to love TV series more, top of my list Power, Broad City, Game of Thrones, How to Get Away With Murder, Entourage, IT Crowd and Phoneshop when I'm in need of uplifting.

Books: I read a lot, but not enough. I was supposed to read a new book every two weeks, but so far I believe it has been about every 1 1/2 months. Genres: everything but Romance and Sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking my first solo trip and long haul flight to Canada for a working holiday this year. They say I'm brave.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to make an awesome Carrot Cake, without the tons of sugar.

Learn: I would love to learn some new phrases, an instrument, dance, new recipe and so on.

Share: Can share the one thing I know we have in common, interest/love for travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Really my love for learning, very open minded and would love to learn about people's experiences generally of life as well as acquiring some knowledge I can take away with me.
