Hey there, my name is Mwiza Simfukwe. I was born in Zambia, Africa and lived there until the age of seven until I moved to South Africa. I was in South Africa until the age of 10, at which i came to the United States. I lived in Orlando from 5th through 6th grade then i transferred and moved to Kissimmee and attended school there from the end of my 6th grade year until I graduated from High School in 2012. After graduating highschool I moved to Jacksonville to attend the University of North Florida; i was there for a year then I moved in with my parents in Tampa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In November I went through depression for the first time which resulted in me quitting my job at UPS. Once the New Year came around all the savings i had were used up and I had a fall out with my father since he decided to sell my possessions while i was out job searching so he can make the rent. I managed to salvage a few clothes, bed sheets, artwork and my guitar and amp and decided to move out instead of dealing with his issues since he is ex-military and is very hard-headed.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music artists are James Morrison, Matt Corby, Coheed And Cambria, Chevelle, Disturbed, System of a Down, and a to9n of other artists spanning multiple genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have my music up on Itunes and Spotify and i've won art shows for my drawings. I draw in pen and ink and that is very time consuming so people generally tend to like my work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to draw or play the guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am reliable, i enjoy helping out around the house if there are any chores that need to be done. I used to work as an unloader at Walmart so I enjoy helping with any kind of moving or heavy lifting even though I am skinny.
