About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cover the earth before it covers me

ABOUT ME

Caribbean born and bred but now living in England. I'm very keen on travelling and have this dream of seeing the whole world. I work as a civil engineer and would like to put my skills to use to construct infrastructure in developing countries.

PHILOSOPHY

I have drawn from many different faiths, the bits that make sense to me, and have formulated my own personal philosophy. It may seem a bit random to others. I like to call it my 'pick and mix' philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting couchsurfers and by trying to convince my friends and family to do the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted quite a few people now and have enjoyed the experience. I'm always willing to help travellers and to be a part of their experience.

I also hope to travel around and be hosted!

Interests

travel (of course), music, culture, cuisine, sports, meditation, yoga, adventure, birds. I'm also a keen amateur photographer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music. I get a thrill out of 'discovering' new artistes. Guess you could say my favourite genre is singer-songwriter, folky stuff.

I love pandora and last.fm and spotify as they enable me to find artistes I probably wouldn't have otherwise found. Without these sites/applications, I'd probably be rich for not having spent so much to acquire music.

My favourite type of film is dark comedy - something that leaves you with a bit to consider.

I've recently rediscovered my desire to read. I've been reading Aldous Huxley, Milan Kundera, Kurt Vonnegut and any books that make me think. I have a Kindle now and have already read about 15 books since the start of the year.
