A world traveler from Queens, NY, born from 2 wonderful Trinidadian parents! (Trinidad and Tobago).

I have lived abroad teaching English and then Spanish and I LOVE learning and talking about languages. I currently study 5 of them.

Needless to say, I'm a people person

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To allow for an even more authentic experience and more human element to my travels. Hotel walls cannot have conversations with me! :)

Hopefully i can teach some English and practice languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my NYC job when I was 25 years old to move to a country and place I'd never seen before, just to make sure I had something in my life that i did all for me. I went for 30 days and stayed for 3 years! Created my own business almost by accident and was able to afford the stay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been to most of the Caribbean and traveled to many many places. I can share, teach and learn

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being a tutor, I can talk about languages and life ALL DAY. I love to explain the intricacies of American English, Trinidadian English and also caribbean Spanish, which I didn't speak until 25 but speak very native-like.

I can share knowledge of Hip-Hop and even display some rapping skills myself or teach them how. I can show how to use some audio production tools.
