I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska, where I grew up and went to school. I have a love for traveling because it's the best way to understand other people's culture and to learn more about yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people.

Interests

Cooking and gaining more perspective of the world is very important to me. I know those are kind of weird to put in the same sentence. I guess you can say I love food.

• learning languages
• cultural dialogue
• making ice cream

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Tame Impala, Tobe Nwigwe, Roy Ayers, Kruangbin, Fela Kuti, Bob Andy, Higher Brothers, Burna Boy, N.E.R.D, Goldlink,

HipHop, jazz, funk, disco, pop, house music, cumbia, bachata, reggae, reggaeton, salsa, psyche rock and so much more.

"Norwegian Wood" is one of my favorites. It's one of those books where if you are reading it around people, you look around because you're scared that other know what you're reading about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Asia for 3 years. I made ice cream everyday for 6 months in 2018. I have climbed a volcano in the rain once.

Once I sat through an entire baptist church service without falling asleep. That's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish and English pretty easily. I love learning languages and interesting facts about people and their historical culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook pretty good. I am comfortable in the kitchen. I can teach you a lot about Black culture.
I love to listen. I love exercising. Basketball is a hobby of mine. I can teach you some stand up jokes. I'm an okay rhythmic poet (rapper known by some).

I have a lot of cool stories from my travels. If MONEY is an issue, we can discuss that before we make the final travel arrangements.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam
