About Me

I was born in Saint Lucia but raised in the USA.
I am a newbie traveler and would like to meet locals to really experience the culture in hopes that I can one day be an awesome host!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the USA there is a melting pot of different cultures and I have learned to celebrate EVERYONE and their differences. I've sat down with countless travelers who have told me such wonderful stories of the world beyond these borders. Stories of joy, strife, adventure, luck and on and on. I ALWAYS love to hear about them. It was a constant reminder of how vast (and different) this world is.
So... I finally got tired of hearing the [awesome] stories and decided to finally get a passport and make some stories of my own! However, as a novice traveler, it would be nice to have some local guidance. :)

I'm truly looking forward to making this world a bit smaller by immersing myself in local cultures all while building great friendships as I go.

Interests

I only have one body so I like to take care of it. So I love the workout and eat well.
However, I work out so I can eat... ALOT! Hahahaha!

I also love my tech gadgets but not to the point where it consumes me. ;)
