About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recently moved out here to Ann Arbor for law school. Planning on pursuing a career in real estate development with DLA Piper at their Chicago office. In the mean time, meeting new people and making new experiences is paramount.

ABOUT ME

I am the type of person who is easy to get along with. I work with 8th graders so it is good for me to get away and enjoy myself in my spare time. Day-dreaming about seeing the world is a hobby of mine lol. I am planning trips over summer vacation, but in the mean time I am content of hearing peoples stories and interacting with people from new cultures. I enjoy working out, reading, dancing, and clubbing.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun. Life is too short, and unpredictable to not do what you want to do today. Share your experiences, we are all unique and could learn more than a library full of books just by talking to strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan on hosting people during my weekends here in Vegas, and when I have the time away from work go and crash on other peoples couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not couch surfed via this site, but during my time in Europe staying in hostiles, and working out accommodations with strangers and new friends was a way of life.

Interests

Music!! I love to play music (the steel drums), and listen to music from other peoples cultures. Food is also a great way to get to know me lol. Besides that, during the week I am lowkey with a good book, and a drink, and during the week I go and take advantage of the entertainment here in Las Vegas. Outdoors stuff such as hiking, or going to the gym are also ways I like to pass the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Godfather trilogy, Friday, Bob Marley, Biggie, Pac, Bach, Mighty Sparrow, Gladiator, Dumb and Dumber, Martix, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye West,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is play in a steel drum band. My father immigrated from Trinidad and is a musician. As a livelihood, my brothers and I traveled all over the western united States playing music at weddings, parties, birthdays ect. Spreading joy, and getting paid for it lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to Dougie, pour a decent drink, do the perfect pushup, laugh until your side bursts, play blackjack, calm down a room of wild 14 year olds, and play a musical instrument...ALL AT THE SAME TIME lol.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, England, France, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

United Kingdom, United States
