I’m from the US, and my parents are from Jamaica. I identify with both countries in different ways. I’ve spent most of my life in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and the city itself. I enjoy people, but I’m definitely an introvert. I’ve been in love with travel and learning about different cultures since childhood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, learn about places in ways only locals will know, and to provide a safe place for other travelers.

Interests

Reading fiction, writing prose and poetry, exploring new places, spending time with nature learning languages, dancing, painting, jewelry making, and singing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Speculative fiction, especially sci-fi, fantasy, and magical realism

Music: House, bachata, r&b, soca, anything from Brazil

Movies: sci-fi, fantasy, documentaries

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving within a sunken ship

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m happy to help anyone learning English. Whether it be practicing conversations, or essay editing, I’ll help however I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m happy to help with cooking meals, and some medical tasks/questions (I used to work as a nurse)

Outside of that, depends on what the host wants/needs. I’m always willing to help, and if it’s something I can’t do, I’ll assist in finding someone who can.
