About Me

I'm a YES person, life's all about having fun, laughing and doing new things. Most people I meet would say I'm super relaxed about everything, there are so many wonderful things to see or experience day by day so I do them all.

I started my travel bug when I went on a cross country cycling trip from London to the south of France at 17. Since then I've made sure I go away as much as possible.

I bought a cheap flight to Brazil and decided that I would miss my flight home and stay here and learn all this beautiful country has to offer ha!

Now back in England studying Cyber Security and loving the summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from all warps of life. Meeting people and speaking is an important aspect of growing as a person, you'll find out something new every few seconds. It's great.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I love it all!

Movies - (I don't think this box could contain them all, so I'll just write a few) Intouchables, Fight Club, Grand Budapest Hotel, Tropa de Elite, City of God.

Books - Am all about the thrillers but am a pretty quick reader so, will read anything I like the look of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The northern lights!!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach whoever I can about my culture; music, dance, history and some recipes from the Caribbean islands. It makes me sad to meet some people that have never had the chance to learn about some.

First I'm going to learn Portuguese, capoeira, Brazilian ju-jitzu, samba samba...I want to learn everything this world has to give me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything I possibly can. I have a one bedroom studio in South London, 5 minutes away from Lewisham station, some blow up mattresses, sofa, sofa bed and a huge beanbag.

I love good food, drink and a bit of partying. Could definitely show you some cool spots about London.
