Overview
About Me
Hey Everyone! I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer currently serving in Jamaica . I was in Guyana staying in a small jungle community without internet or extra rooms, but now am living near Morant Bay in the St. Thomas Parish of Jamaica. I live in the mountains about 15 miles from the summit of the Blue Mountains (the same Blue Mountains that bring you Blue Mountain Coffee). I love to travel and meet new people. I plan on back packing South America and Southeast Asia after I finish my time in Peace Corps.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I joined Couchsurfing after a friend asked if a couch surfer could stay with me. It was a lot of fun showing him around my community and getting to know another world traveler. I plan on back packing a good part of the world on a budget. I also think you get the best travel tips from people living in an area.
Interests
I love photography and sports. Especially football (soccer) and volleyball. I work with kids and love teaching. I also enjoy learning about new cultures and trying new things. I also love writing. I have a blog that I update regularly (www.kreevespeace.wordpress.com). And of course there is nothing better than being outdoors and enjoying nature!

Music, Movies, and Books
All music is good music depending on the mood. I love any kind of piano and a lot of folksy alternative stuff. I will watch any movie except scary movies. As far as books I have a mix of classics, trashy crime novels and non-fiction usually focusing on travel or places I've been.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I planned the Guyana Trail Marathon (guyanamarathon.com) to raise money for the school and community I was working with in Guyana, and spent a year and a half living in the jungle of South America.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach about the history of Haiti, how to play the piano, Guyanese and Jamaican culture, different aid organizations, locally made crafts, travelling on a budget. I want to learn guitar (though I don't own one right now), I'd love to learn another language, anything about other cultures, anyone's expertise on travel, and anything related to food.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my experiences, and I like to cook so if you trust someone else to cook for you, I will do it! Really anything you're interested in I will find something to contribute or at least enjoy your unique perspective.
