About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being the best I can be

ABOUT ME

When you visit a place the only way you can truly see what is there is by meeting it's people. You have to step into the lives of the locals and only then can you see the city/country for what it is.

Once you see how the world really is, it's your responsibility to do something to make it better. That is what it truly means to be part of the educated world.

Currently I live in Seattle and use my free time to travel.

Going around and seeing the world gives me a better appreciation for what it has to offer and a better understanding of what it needs to change.

PHILOSOPHY

Step into life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a sofa of my own to really share. But I'm always willing to talk with people about the places that I lived or been to and what I recommend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Dublin and it was amazing. Rory took me in and took care of me. I was able to see a side of Ireland that most don't get to.

Interests

Food!! The best part of traveling is tastig all the local treats. All my tours of whatever country I'm in always include food.

You can get me talking about almost anything. I'm always curious to learn more. A new book, new song, some new artist that came out, break dancing, Capoeria, break beats, anything that makes you think out side the box.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to every kind of music. There is a sound for each time of the day. Music is raw emotion. Music reminds us to feel the world, its different for each of us. Don't hate on another's music because it isn't your favorite. It's like tell someone not to feel a certain way. Music is the heartbeat of your soul, dance to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran with the bulls
Bartended Ibiza
New Years in Rio
Gone to the Olympics

Teach, Learn, Share

I've also picked of some of the language as well. I know most of people know little about this culture and what the actual situation is for Roma throughout Europe.
