Jamaican-American, artist, musician, wanderer.... That pretty much sums it up :)

I love exploring cultures and meeting people. Traveling has provided some of the coolest experiences and stories that I am sure will continue to enrich my life. Now, I'm living in Valencia, Spain and wandering the world playing blues festivals.

I am a vegan, but don't worry about feeding me - I'm pretty good about looking up restaurants that I want to try or feeding myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Let love be your only debt. If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands.

CURRENT LIFE HAPPENINGS

Lately I've been focusing on playing these blues festivals, and finding other small local gigs and busking as I wander.
Fixing up DanDann.me and my livestream at Twitch.tv/DanDannLive are a couple other current projects

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I pretty much tell every cool person I meet about Couchsurfing. Since I joined (way back in the way back), I've inducted friends, family, co-workers and strangers. CS just makes traveling... better.

FACT OF (my) LIFE:

You PROBABLY met or are meeting me through some haphazard last minute post/request or I just showed up somewhere. I am admitting it - HERE - I AM ADMITTING IT! 80% (aka 99%) of the things I do are last minute. If I find out that there's a super cool shop in your town or something, you'll probably get an email from me tonight asking if we can hang out tomorrow. It's a fact. Or you'll meet me at a potluck in Zimbabwe or something - note that I probably found out about the potluck the night before and CS requested someone, or slept in the airport cause my 'last minute surfing' is TOO last minute for most normal people.

On the other hand, I've had several super cool people drop me a line saying that they were already IN town - some of the coolest people I've hosted - maybe because we have so much in common....

SOMEtimes I plen things
- see there, I cant even spell it right... p-l-a-n. maybe if i start using it in sentences i'll figure out how to do it.
I suppose I dont really mind - it keeps my life interesting... and SUPER kudos to you if you don't mind either! Maybe I'll come visit you...

So um.. is 3 hours enough lead time?
