I don't know how cliché this may be on this app, I'm fairly new at it. But something I try to live by is "the world is a book and one that does not travel will never get past the first page". I'm just trying to read that book and go anywhere and everywhere I can.

Edit (August 7th 2017) : I'm glad I've met so many great people through this app.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nobody on this planet will get to see every corner of this place, might as well try to see as much as we can.

Interests

As a traveler/host relationship, the interest that will peak out the most is my obnoxious picture taking. I like to document everything, it's a love hate thing with my friends. In small doses, we should be fine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to Asian radio and have shazzamed songs more than once. Yes I went back to listen to it on YouTube and I'm thinking of making a house mix but please don't steal my idea. Movies.... For the longest I love anything with Jackie chan so you can imagine how much I loved the "Rush Hour" trilogy. But I also enjoyed this one movie Pathology, with decent actors but not much buzz, about doctors who kill in the name of competition. Django was crazy. Heath Ledgers Joker will never not speak to me and anything with Will Smith.
On the other side of the spectrum, Anne Hathaway has really grown since the Princess Diaries and I'm glad we got to grow up with her. Jennifer Anniston is the most beautiful woman on the planet.

Books, the Crank series is a good fast and fun read with a great message for an audience of youth dealing with Meth. Five People You Meet In Heaven is important. Ruby Holler I only read once in fifth Grade because it was a reading competition and I wanted to read them all with my competitive ass but I've never forgotten it. Also bought a book called "The Sense of Being Stared At: and other mind phenomenons". Changed my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a dream of an old friend where we visited our old elementary, neither of us had gone back in years. Fate had it written and somehow ended up running into each other and we went back to see the teachers but it was a teacher planning day. We sat in the principles office, "that's a good thing for once they would jeer". The staff was friendly and remembered us. One thing lead to another principal walks in and we're both invited to do a career day in the upcoming month as an Alumni theme. I did a career day in the same classrooms as my fourth and fifth grade teachers. Gave the kids airline branded book bags, stickers, key chains, etc. After, was invited to be part of a good bye video for the inaugural principal of the school whom had got us the gig. Before I left they offered me a second job as a flag football coach for the after school care department. I took it with a smile on my face. Since then I've started and those kids are funny. This next generation is going to be wild.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best way to teach learn and share is to contentiously culture shock ourselves. We learn by interacting with the same species across the imaginary borders we set and learn that what are new customs to you may be old habits to another.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an experience unlike any other. I offer a real taste of Miami while treating you like a brother or a sister. I love Miami and love the locals, I have a handful of shows I throw around town that you could experience.
