About Me

ABOUT ME

Having grown up listening to '80s era hip-hop, I'm a b-boy at heart. Thus, old school hip hop has laid the foundation for the man I have become: teacher, scholar, anthropologist, lawyer, b-boy, activist, and yogi. But all in all, I'm an introverted extrovert who welcomes camaraderie with other open-minded souls seeking a peaceful existence.

PHILOSOPHY

"The Universe is mental."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CS, but have a couple friends that have surfed for years. Their encouragement, along with my upcoming travel plans, has inspired me to get involved.

Interests

Art, music, poetry, listening to the ocean, the movement of breath, yoga, capoeira, and life by the beach. Oh, and I'm also an NBA addict!
