About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have always said that when i travel i would prefer to see places through the eyes of the natives, instead of what is put out for tourists. and this seems to answer this dream. should have known about it sooner.

ABOUT ME

The pic shows what i look like, and where i like to be. If u stay by me expect to be invited to the beach. if there is a beach near U expect me to try to get to it. unless u live in one of those cold areas.
Some friends refer to me as a Caribbean Amphibian. Keep me warm keep me wet and i am happy :-)
except carnival time when i MUST be on d road :-0

hey you, yeah you reading this SMILE !!!!

I think I am a very open minded, free spirited individual, I like to see things from others perspective, as it often sheds a totally different light on a situation.
I wish I could make everyone in this world happy but thats not possible, because what makes one happy often offends the other. but if i could create a smile or two it would make the day's waking worth it. But if u see me without mine, please, help me find it :-)

I have a thing about advantage, I understand that its a law of nature where the strong survive at the expense of the weak. however it upsets me when one takes advantage of the generosity of others.

to be continued :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as they would have u do unto them, unless of course u have to save them from themselves.

life has many challenges, I believe its up to us to decide if to make them into problems or not. I try my best for the latter :-)

No Fuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did some hosting, now its time to learn to surf :-)
update :-0
I had my first surfing experience and it was bestest:-)
Thanks Fiona
now I am even more willing to host, cause there are rewards on both sides of the coin, but u will never find them if u keep looking at the edge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well when i go to miami i crash at my best friends house, if that qualifies ;-)
I actually hosted my first Couch Surfer, Phil Sadler on his world tour and it was an encouraging experience.
Will definitely do it again.
