About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing all the good I can to all the people I can in all the ways I can

ABOUT ME

Living and Loving Life!
Love to travel, meet new people, learn about new cultures and share my own...

Grew up in the islands = easy going, love music, know how to have a good time...yup, all the stereotypes pretty much apply!

Live in Toronto = enjoying family and friends, working on my career... Oh yea, and having a good time!

PHILOSOPHY

I have the power to define what's possible for me...and I will have a great time achieving it!

People first, then money, and then things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surf and host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Cayman Islands, Sao Paulo, Cricuma, Salvador, Curitiba, Minais Gerais, Fortaleza - Crashed with complete strangers. Sounds kinda crazy but I had a BLAST! Why did I have such a BLAST? Because nothing beats going to a bar on a street corner in rural Brazil, being introduced as Jimmy Cliff or Bob Marley and watching a soccer game on a 14' screen with 20 other people (some of whom have never left their town) drinking Cachaca and cerveja, talking soccer, culture, life, and...

Interests

music, cars, education and literacy for marginalized youth, fitness, good food, meeting new people and anything else that has the potential of being interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am interested in good music!
What's good music? stuff that strikes the "chords" in my guts! Includes but not restricted to:
- anything Motown
- Ska, rocksteady, old school reggae
- Jazz (different types)
- other

Movies: Shawshank redemption, Seven, The Harder They Come, The Matrix, any 007 flick, Scar Face, Mr. and Mrs. Smith...you get the idea :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I haven't travelled or couch surfed as much I would have liked. I am looking forward to doing a lot more travelling and surfing in the coming years and I am sure will have something to offer as time goes by...for now, I welcome lessons from other more experienced travellers.
