I'm a cool, down to earth Black Guy from the tropics (the Caribbean) who is currently studying in Turkey At the Istanbul Technical University. I would describe myself as someone who is really outgoing, gregarious, basically someone who likes to vibe and enjoy the company of other people; i relish at the prospect of meeting new people. I'm also an advocator of living life on edge, every day i try to experiment and try something new to keep feeling alive. Moreover I'm also a huge fan of psychology and meditation, i like to study how people think, how the mind works and what makes people click. Meditation is something which i have been practicing for more than a decade now and it's something that really keeps me grounded. Wim hoff method is also something I've been doing for 5 years now and it works wonders on the mind and body.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I'm here to meet cool people and to travel around the world in attempt to experience new cultures and ways of living.

Interests

-I love reading, digging books, listening to podcasts and feeding my mind. It helps to get new perspectives and to understand the world in a better way
- I love to socialize and meet new people from every where around the world. I believe everyone has a wonderful story to share.
- I grew up loving sports and martial arts, till now i still have a burning passion for it and i'm keeping it up with calisthenics. (Aiki-jujitsu and kickboxing)
- Yup...meditation is a very good way to calm the mind and ground oneself. try it for yourself and you'll tell me more ;)
- Wim hoff method: been doing it since a year now, and the benefits on mind and body is amazing.
