CURRENT MISSION

To gradually, slowly but surely, visit every remarkable place in the world

ABOUT ME

I am a very friendly and open person. I'd like to consider myself a true citizen of the world. I enjoy meeting people from all backgrounds. I am a big tourist. I like to learn the history and culture of anywhere I visit. I spent the first twenty years in a career as a Veterinary Technician. I went back to school earning a degree in Marketing/Tourism and International Management. I don't drink, smoke or party. I am a Christian. I love water. That means I love to be around the water. I have in the past enjoyed Scuba Diving and Sailing. I used to run many marathons. Right now I am not in shape after some health problems. But, hope to get back to doing it one day after regaining my fitness. I love museums and libraries, so I think I am considered somewhat of a nerd. Although I am an American and have been for almost thirty years, I was born in Jamaica and still consider myself one. I enjoy reading and listening to audiobooks. I enjoy the classics. Tolstoy is a favorite of mine. When I travel, I love to meet local people, stay with them or stay in hostels.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Your days are already laid out in God's Plan.
(Jeremiah 29:11)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I host travelers and participate in local couch-surfing events

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

visited 24 states (10.6%)Create your own visited map of The World
Well, I've hosted quite a few folks and have been hosted a time or two. Always a pleasureable experience. I definitely prefer couch surfing to staying at a hotel any day.

Intereses

People, Reading, Writing, Travel, Sports (Basketball, Football, Soccer, Tennis etc...)- Spectator only. I'm back to marathon training! I'm slow as a turtle, but I'm making progress and will run the Chicago Marathon, Marine Corps Marathon and the NYC marathons...all this fall of 2015 within a month!. I decided to go big in celebrating my 50th year of life...so, if I survive it, I should be in amazing shape :-) I really enjoy attending live events such as the Theater, and live musical events (SXSW, ACL, Bonnaroo, Coachella). I am a big fan of contemporary Christian music and I always listen to www.klove.com check it out. I just went to their annual fan awards in Nashville, TN and I went on the Klove Cruise in 2014.
