CURRENT MISSION

To find a deeper connection to myself by exploring the world and connecting with others outside the "comforts" of home.

ABOUT ME

I am an Urban Gardener with baby avocado trees, one Greek olive tree, one peach tree, and herb plants.
Gardening is a therapeutic pass time. I thought it would be harder to reap the harvest but it was quite simple. Plants, like pets or children require your attention and care for them to do well. To be a good gardener, you have to spend more time with the plant to see how they are doing and what kind of care they need in the moment.

I live and work in Washington, DC, area though currently I just outside the city limits in a town called Bethesda. I begin my professional acting career in Atlanta, GA, USA at the age of 13. Now 21 years later I'm still in the business blossoming and redefining my career the United States Capital City. Check out my acting video demo reel https://youtu.be/NbSuU4bPNXo

It's been 4 years since I've travel abroad. Majority of my travels in the past five years have been within the States. I am yearning for an outside perspective of the US and want to experience how other nations are living in this current world economic stage.

I am currently practicing Buddhism with SGI. I chant Nam-myo-hyo -renge-kyo.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others and their property with the same respect you'd wish to be given to you.

And "Live, Life is a feast and most sons of bitches are starving to Death"-Auntie Mame

And "You ever notice 'What the Hell' is always the right answer?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook fresh meals, I can share my experience of urban gardening

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am completely new to couch surfing. I love community experiences. I participate in ride shares because I feel a road trip with people is far my interesting than waiting in a security line at an airport.

Interests

I'm interested in home garden for fruits and vegetables. I am raising two avocado trees and one Greek Olive tree which I planted first as seeds. The trees are 14 months old and doing Great!

I want to learn from the life experience of other traveled people. With the States, our view of the world, and how the world views us is limited (from within). I wish to travel beyond my nation's borders for more unique experiences.

When at home I enjoy reading in the evenings, cooking dinner, hosting a gathering of friends, going out for dinner and a movie and dancing. I like to play billiards and darts but I am not very good, just inconsistently lucky. I am a fan of hiking or nature walks up mountain sides or along a river.

I love listening to other travelers stories. I am a good listener and a patient listener for travelers still learning English.
