I am born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, the very last island at the bottom of the caribbean. I love new places and people, especially interested in art, yoga, meditation, dance, scuba diving and lots of nature. The ocean, the breeze and a starry night on a beach are my favorite things.
I believe in optimism and giving your best to a situation, even though its hard at times, just enjoy life! its beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be in Europe for the first time in my life, along with a close friend and we need to travel on a budget! I have only heard good things of couch surfing and would love to make some international friends.
(p.s. my friend who is joining me is a pastry chef from the number 1 restaurant in Trinidad :) --- http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g147389-d3813407-Reviews-Zazou_Bistro_Moderne-Port_of_Spain_Trinidad_Trinidad_and_Tobago.html)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing hmm. well i climbed onto a pirogue (a small boat) that may have been illegal and rode it to Venezuela, then for 2 days travelled up river on canoes with engines and finally ended and Salto Angel (Angel Falls) which is the tallest non-stop waterfall in the world... on arriving at the site of the waterfall i did a forearm stand over the edge of the cliff and then we crossed the rapids to get a little closer to the falls :)
