I'm a coder at a local college, aspiring artist, and forever activist. Always trying to think of ways to make this place a bit better with other ppl who share similar visions :). I've lived in LR for some time, and even tho I'm not from here and sometimes it's hard to see, it's a city with an interesting history, culture, and some beautiful people.

As far as traveling, I come from a low-income background so I haven't had the chance to travel much but being an immigrant has taught me things about place, people, culture, and identity that are super important to me and have made me who I am.

PHILOSOPHY
I know that. We all have something worthy to contribute just by virtue of being alive. Even if life does this thing of not really being fair some times and that gets in the way of knowing this, believing in it.
Etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good times with travelers. As a host/meetup date - showing off Little Rock to newcomers, letting them know of cool events while they're here, even throw some (half-baked) history from this city in there lol.
As a traveler, getting to know folks that are part of the communities i visit.
I think being the world-adventurer type is really badass if you have access to it - but as long as you're a genuine, passionate and decent person who likes having ppl around, then yeah I'm down.

I'm currently not able to host but it's definitely in my future.
