Hi Y'all

Please, please, please, read my full profile before submitting a request. I'm not just here to offer a place to sleep and then ride off into the sunset. That is not the couch surfing request that I'm looking to get or share with my guests. If that is your goal, there are quite a few hotels and hostels that I can suggest for you. If not, continue reading... 😊

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy going, love to travel and meet new people. Grew up in Guyana South America, and moved to New York City(Brooklyn) at age 14....so I pretty much consider myself a New Yorker. I love the outdoors, and trying new and exciting things....life is too short not to! Mountain biking, hiking, surfing, rock climbing, zip lining, laying on the beach, I'm all for it. Love sushi...will try almost anything once (within reason). Going to a new city and visiting to the local bars, clubs, restaurants, hot spots, and hidden treasures is the best way to experience what that city has to offer. I tend to avoid the tourist type stuff unless its very popular...like the Grand Canyon or things like that.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to not explore and experience the world we live in. We rarely take the opportunity to explore our own cities or countries, let alone the world. There are so many beautiful and exciting people, cultures, and experiences awaiting us, so GET OUT THERE MEET SOMEONE NEW, TRY SOME NEW FOOD, MUSIC, WHATEVER...JUST LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE!

CARPE DIEM...and don't forget to LIVE A LITTLE!
