CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to survive and make it to see a new year in a new city, a new country this year!

ABOUT ME

I'm very humble and think that this box could be filled with nothing and when you meet me you would actually wonder why this box isn't filled with words like, "caring, selfless, kindhearted, supportive, lover of COLDPLAY, Manchester United, openminded, simple, honest, ethical, leader, easy to please, adventurous, lover of music, athlete, chef at heart, and more"…I just like for people to get to know me the old fashioned way, meeting in person and taking me for who I am. If you don't like me then just be honest and let me know…#BlessedToBeABlessing

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is based on one simple rule, "The Golden Rule"…I live my life by this rule and I hope to meet people that do the same…I also live life with expectancy and I know that if I just "take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing at the moment…But would openly welcome anyone that needed a home and a great experience while on their journey of discovery!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing for awhile now…I have surfed in NYC, ATL and LA. But not with this site. I like the verified option but I feel like I should earn those references and experiences with fellow CS's. Then, and only then will I feel Verified! I'm not famous or anything, just a good guy from a good family…

Interests

In my free time I enjoy shooting videography and some photography, producing music, some reading and cooking!! I actually love to eat! :) I also have an interest in Architecture, traveling, Art, MANUTD, swimming, golf, fashion, collecting newspapers, collecting as many Hard Rock Cafe pilsner glasses as possible, working out, climbing (trees actually…I climbed a 5 story tree once. Then I almost fell climbing down but all I did was slightly dislocate my shoulder but I was able to put it back in quickly), children( I have a lot of "children" that I have mentored while I was growing up and now they are all grown and are doing just fine), spending time with my loving family (I have a large family), MOVIES, MAD MEN ( The greatest show on TV, PERIOD), running, playing the drums and more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed in the Opening Ceremonies for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia…I was a model for Abercrombie&Fitch, I graduated from College, I worked on Hunger Games 2, studied how to do capoeira in Brazil, partied at Diddy's house for the Super Bowl and saw my fav band, Coldplay on NYE w/ Jay Z!!! Let's save the rest for when we meet! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

All I can teach you is to love yourself and know that if you do, others will as well! I could teach you how to play the drums because I am pretty good at that! I actually won the Louis Armstrong award for Jazz during my years in high school!
