I go by "Carter", long story if you have the time or curious to know.

ABOUT ME

My friends make fun that I live a James Bond life being able to adapt to any situation, place, culture and people. Growing up in Jamaica and living in NYC makes the practice easy but I love exploring local culture, people and places as smiling is a universally welcome language :) open-minded and do just as well backpacking as I do in a 7 star hotel, which working on Wall Street helps from time to time :)

Ex-pro athlete and travels 6 continents a few times over with goal to get to Antartica eventually. Intrigued by different cultures and people's life experiences. Only race I know is the Human Race ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I escape NYC at least once a month to travel or even weekend getaway drives that have taken me all along the Easter corridors from Montreal to Miami Beach. This also includes stamping my passport internationally a few times a year. Took one of my lifetime trip to South Africa in 2010 and the Soccer World Cup in Brazil 2014. It has been a fun adventure exploring all the continents over the years with one left (Antartica) left. Covered West and East Europe over the years but still have northern Europe (Sweden, Norway, Denmark); also north Africa (Egypt), South America (Peru & Argentina) and Asia (India, Thailand, China & Korea).
