I love life, like most travelers. It's everything... existence is a miracle to me. Like eating, you have to imagine that a billion years ago (or whenever the cavemen crawled out of the primordial soup) when people were eating they were pretty much roughing it with fruit and tasteless charred meat. Now, we have roast chicken, parmesan mashed potatoes with gravy, and candied yams; I mean decadent cakes and pastries that taste like dreams.

I could list all the things I fill my days with but put simply I'm a creator. Anything that arouses emotion in me I am interested in experiencing and eventually creating. Alright I'll list a few, I'm a writer, a reader, a dancer, a psychology enthusiast and an avid sleeper.

I'm traveling to give myself the space to evolve. This is a simple step outside of the matrix. My life has become an enigma that I must unravel and reorganize and how lucky am I to live in the version of the world where I can accomplish this safely and freely.

My plan is to travel to Spain for 3-4 months and then continue east until I find my way back home to Chicago, Illinois. I plan to return with epic adventure stories, new tattoos, and a hefty understanding of the Spanish language

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet as many people as possible on my travels, who better to show you a city than a native? What do you eat? What do you watch on TV? What type of music do you listen to?

You can expect surprisingly deep conversations, my voice singing quietly in the background. Fun discussions about books, language, or your favorite hot sauce. Quiet nights in turning in early of a fun night out exploring the city. I understand that some of you will want to connect and share your lives with me... I'm all for it! But I also understand that some of you are just being helpful and I'm all for that too.

Also, I'll be in Spain for 3-4 months and I want to dive into the culture.. my first priority will be to find a job, busco trabajar! Ha, then I'll be doing everything under the Spanish sun and studying Spanish obsessively.

Music, Movies, and Books

Please come in and take a seat this could take awhile...

I spend most of my music life listening to Pop music & Hip hop music, that's because I love to dance and I've conditioned myself to lean towards a beat I can wiggle and shake to. This ranges from Britney Spears to Beyonce, Chris Brown to Justin Timberlake, Meg Thee Stallion to Drake and so on...

Currently... I almost exclusively listen to Spanish music for I am on a mission to learn this damn language. Also I really love Spanish music. Bad bunny, C. Tangana, Becky G, Mabiland, Rosalia, Luis Enrique, Pedro Capo.

My favorite song is whatever song I am currently obsessed with which is a straight up tie right now between Pensando En Ti, from the show Rbelde & the song Autoestima by Cupido & Lola indigo, feat. Alizz

I'm a lazy music fan so I rarely ingest an entire album. I usually listen to whatever's popular, what I hear in shows or what I stumble upon on an Itunes station.

Movies!!

ahhh movies, as I type this I am rewatching The Long Kiss Goodnight w/ Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. One of my favorite childhood movies though, it is NOT a children's movie, ha.

I flat out refuse to name one favorite anything... it's impossible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a book when I was 19 called Natural Satisfaction and had it self published. The story and writing are horrible but I did it lol.

I'm one of those people that just get inspired by possibility, which is why I avoid casinos, and I stumbled upon self-publishing while I was living in Florida. Immediately, I knew I had to write a book and publish it, punto. So I did.

Teach, Learn, Share

Psychology will save the world; let's hope there's a world to save by the time everyone gets hip to this. The clash of self-awareness and conditioning is a war humanity is fighting across the board; in every nook and cranny of this planet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My energy and my insight. These two things have been my hallmark almost since birth. It seems I'm just naturally insightful. I believe it's because I pay attention to people and I've always been somewhat self-aware.

The energy works a lot of ways.. I radiate positivity; I blame Disney!

Seriously, I was a Disney kid through and through... also I as an avid movie watcher and book reader so I've spend a lot of time with protagonists overcoming odds and finding themselves and all you have to do is try and be yourself! It's a little gross but life has taught me to mix my positive attitude with realism and whoa.. a dose of that is quite refreshing.
