CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and see the world.

ABOUT ME

No idea what to say here...Let's see...I am a very outgoing person. I really enjoy life and all the things it has to offer, which makes me an optimist. I am driven, passionate and hardworking. I am very curious about life, and will try almost anything at least once (with the exception of narcotics of course). I value my friendships, and do my best to be a good friend/colleague.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just had my first couchsurfing experience this November. Loved it, and am open to hosting someone now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally awesome! My host did a great job of showing me around and making me feel comfortable.

Interests

I am an Anthropologist, so I enjoy studying other cultures, especially the trans-Atlantic African Diaspora. I really enjoy learning/hearing Creole languages like those found in Jamaica, Haiti and Cape Verde.

Music, Movies, and Books

This reflects my upbringing and research interests. I was born and bred on Classic Soul (Temptations, my man Smokey Robinson, etc.), and Gospel music. So those are closest to my heart. After that, I am crazy for Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Dancehall, Ska, Rocksteady, Konpa, Mournas, Classical Music, Opera, Lite Rock, Contemporary Country Music. Basically everything but contemporary rap music.
