I grew up in Kingston, Jamaica and spent over 6 years studying in Tokyo, Japan. After I graduated in 2018, I decided to roam the planet and have been living in Mexico (shout out to my CS family in CDMX!), Colombia, and the US, with plans to spend time in Jamaica, Europe, Africa, and Asia before the end of 2019. Since then, I've been based on the suburbs of Chicago. My reason for travelling is meeting interesting people and sharing mind-blowing experiences. I'm an explorer at heart and finally putting my commitment issues to good use :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've made a few close friends in Tokyo who've done couchsurfing before and their experiences sound amazing, so I want to make some of my own. I'm still on CS because of the super cool nomads I keep meeting.

Interests

The mysteries in the depth of the human spirit .... and everything else from education to travelling, politics to partying, literature to music, and all other creative forms of expressions. That's one side. The other side involves whiskey, spirits, and living a very slow, relaxing, and stress-free lifestyle. Oh yeah, street-food any time of the day or night.
