Overview
About Me
PLEASE READ My Home preferences before sending a request.
I've been told I have a familiar, warm, happy energy about me, but I find myself to be more unique than I can even put into words. It's convenient to attribute my differences to being Haitian-American and raised in South Florida. Anyhow, I am easy-going, full of humor and smiles, somewhat of a workaholic, and creatively inclined. I am a social butterfly with eagles' wings and I have a voracious appetite for meaningful experiences. I am an Air Sign (Gemini) and split between INTJ/INTP.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've always been fascinated by the concept of opening up your home to strangers. As unpredictable as it may seem, I am happy to welcome guests on weekends, provide a favorable experience, and connect with people from around the world.
I am also looking to couchsurf myself, so I figured I'd host as well and amp up some good karma.
I love meeting new and interesting people. I believe that if you are a traveler, chances are you're more interesting (than most). I enjoy the company of others and take pride and pleasure in being hospitable-- two innate qualities to exercise openness and generosity, meanwhile building my character.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I relocated from Miami, FL to Las Vegas, NV the summer after graduating college. It's amazing because I moved to a new city, state and region without visiting, knowing anyone or anything other than the fact that I only had $800 to my name and it was going to be okay. It turned out to be waaaaaay more than okay, and I am very grateful.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Awareness
Learn: Feelings
Share: Not just what I have to spare, but what I have.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Optimism, different perspectives, conversation, fun stories, knowledge on any given topic--and to be honest, there's not much that I wouldn't share. I just am not sure what else to add.
Countries I’ve Visited
Bahamas, Haiti, Mexico
