My name is Joel Henry and I'm from the island of Saint Lucia located in the lesser antilles of the Caribbean.
Currently, I am pursuing a B.Sc in Economics at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine.
I've been trained in traditional martial arts for most of my life and in my late teenage years I took more of an interest toward Kickboxing and MMA.
I have been a huge enthusiast of exercising and keeping physically fit throughout my life because of the martial arts influence I grew up with. It's something positive that has really stuck with me and I'm grateful for that.
When it comes to receiving new perspective I describe myself as open minded, therefore anyone is welcome to give me a shout.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and learn, meet amazing people whose energies mix well with mine. I want to live my life in a way that satisfies my soul.

Interests

I try my best to take care of my body. To achieve that I try keep up with exercising and eating right.
I'm into my body and what goes into it. Not to get it mixed up, I actually don't like eating right or exercising, just staying fit and looking good.

Although I like vibes, and living it up with the fete scene. I can at the same time appreciate a nice adventure or a chill journey. A day at the beach to relax and find peace with myself or friends and family is always welcome.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm heavily into Dancehall and Reggae music because of the Caribbean influence I grew up in, from the old time legends such as Bob Marley to newer influencers including Vybz Kartel, Chronixx, Jesse Royal and Protoje.
Despite my preferences towards Dancehall and Reggae music, I indulge in all music genres and take in whatever's pleasing to my ears.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've succesfully done a double backflip off a cliff into the ocean. Also, I've failed at doing a double backflip off a cliff into the ocean. The failure was much more of an intense and memorable experience.
