About Me
I'm a single mom to a 13 year old son and we are pretty much are a very laid back family. I enjoy music and the arts though i am not artistic but I love vintage things with character and soul. I have a deep interest in my country's tradition and love to promote it when I can to visitors. I love swimming, and travelling, food is a great passion of mine and I love learning how to cook different traditional dishes. I'm easy going, loves to hosts get together's with friends and is always the one who will go out of their way to help others when I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a big music enthusiast; I love most forms of musical genres but i gravitate toward soul, funk, jazz, RnB, hiphop, rap, classical, trip-hiphop, reggae and generally anything that feels and sound wonderful. I enjoy books though am not choosy with what i read, as long as its new content, and sparks my interest then I'm open to reading it, just like my perspective on life.
