My two favorite things are traveling and being good company, because one makes the other possible. I moved to Brooklyn a little over a year ago from New Orleans, and love how much there is to discover in this city. I get tested regularly for covid due to work, and keep guests to a limit

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a lot of success on this site that has encouraged me to continue meeting new people and to keep in touch with former hosts/friends

Music, Movies, and Books

I can get excited about any music–especially when someone who's familiar with it is enthusiastic about it. I also look forward to sharing music I already enjoy listening to (R&B, Soul, FUNK, Hip Hop, Banda, Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Son, Ethiopian, West African Blues, Afrobeats, Soca, and Folk Music from Around the World). Concerning movies, I enjoy comedies, historical movies, and Science Fiction. As long as the book is not corny, I'll read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped off a 50-foot ledge into a lake, then climbed back up in Texas, even though nobody asked me to do it, and it was only in front of three other people. I don't usually do daredevil stunts, so this was worth it.
