I'm a mixture of personalities. I can be the indoor, quiet and reserved person at times where I just want to be in my zone, or have a peaceful night in with mellow conversation and a glass of red wine. I could also be the fun, social, outgoing girl who wants to explore the city and dance the night away.

My professional life... I am a lawyer, author and poet. Shocker! I love writing and I use my words to address feelings, views and current social evils. I perform my poems at spoken word events. I haven't been to one in a long while, and I hope to fix that soon. I think I'm a better listener than a speaker, and definitely a better writer. My passion is human rights law, which is something I have been interested in since I was a little girl. The fact that there is not much money in that field still hasn't dissuaded me.

My family life... I'm the second born in a family of five children. I'm also the first daughter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying it on recommendation from a friend. Due to unfortunate incidences, I find myself in need of a couch, and the added benefit of having nice company is a bonus.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movies/series: I love thriller movies on one hand, and hate romantic movies on the other hand. I'm sorry but I find romance movies so cheesy. I guess being a writer, I can always ALWAYS predict the end of a romance movie. I also am not a big fan of comedies *gasp* I know. I don't see myself sitting down for two hours laughing at a TV screen. Sorry Modern Family lovers.
I watch series that have a legal theme. Kinda cliché, being a lawyer. I love Boston Legal, Suits is okay, How to get away with murder doesn't qualify as a legal/law series... Ok I'm blabbing. I like Criminal Minds, the Mentalist etc

Favorite books: I'm a big fan of reading. I'd take a book over a movie any day. Favorite authors include Sidney Sheldon, James Patterson and John Grisham.
I can't but mention the Bible, the best book of all time.

Favorite Music: I mostly listen to gospel. Big fan of Hillsong, Don Moen, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. Alternatively I listen to slow love jams, not the pervy ones tho
I'm a big fan of dancehall too. I need not say more.
