Hi my name is Chris. I'm a Financial Advisor in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida . I am half Jamaican and half Panamanian., and I speak Spanish, but I'm not fluent fluent, but good enough to hold a conversation. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and networking.

On my free time I like to go to the gym, run on the beach, Golf, go fishing , cook like I'm on the Food Network Channel (I can cook!) or even drive in my car and cruise....

I like to always think in terms of moving forward and I do this by networking, trying new things, new experiences and by always looking to learn something new from people or from books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am not able to host, but you can catch me at the local events . If you are visiting the city, I'll be more than happy to show you the hip spots!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couchsurfed yet, but I can't wait to start. Looking for my first stop to be in Chicago..

WHY I'M ON COUCHSURFING

I am on couchsurfing because I like to meet new people, network and study different cultures. I also plan on doing some traveling in the second half of the year and figured that this would be a good way to start. A plus about couchsurfing is that when I travel to different local cities, I will be able to make new friends and share some experiences.

Interests

Anything outdoors is usually fair game. My interest are in traveling, experiencing different types of cultures and meals.

I like to explore restaurants that I can review and recommend to friends.
So I like to go food blogging!

Spanish culture ( I'm Panamanian) and recently my friend started teaching me something about the Rasta culture ( I'm Jamaican also). I am also interested in other cultures and want to share experiences with others that are from different walks of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

My favorite music is reggae because it's relaxing and then I like to dance to spanish music, preferably bachata because I love the way that people move their body to the music. I also listen to hip-hop, house music, Old school drum and bass , old school freestyle music etc.....

MOVIES

I am a big fan of horror movies. One of my favorite movies of all time is Wall Street (Bud Fox aka Charlie Sheen is the man!)

BOOKS

I own a few books, mostly motivational ones and educational ones. I'm not a big fan of fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing things I have done was gone speerfishing/freediving in the ocean at Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

I built a 260 page education course on how to trade stocks and invest. It was a 4 day course and I have good reviews on my website from when I use to teach it in Miami. I will be willing to teach you and if you're not interested, I don't know, I guess I can teach you how to swim lol.

I can also teach you anything about computers. If you are interested in working out at the gym and getting in shape, I can definitely help you learn some new training exercises. If you want to learn English, I can help you practice.

I am always interested in learning something from someone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great time, some cooking lessons, some finance and day trading lessons, workout training and weightlifting, some spanish lessons and much more that we can talk about. I also can show you how to dance and an overall good experience and conversation. =)
