Hi, I'm Justin!

I am a Jamaican American who aspires to be a photographer and Marine biologist. I'm currently a undergrad bio major with minors in political science and community organizing. I hope to change the world one pixel at a time!

My motto for life: Do good stuff daily. Here are some of my favorite quotes.

"Words are things and a small drop of ink,
falling like dew upon a thought, produces that
which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
-George Gordon Byron

“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm surfing for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because I'm broke and don't want to wait until I'm retired to travel the world. I really, really enjoy learning new things and seeing other people's perspective of how the world works. I think many people believe we've lost the human part in humanity, I think this is because we as a society have grown to not trust each other. I hope I can help change this perspective by surfing! Lastly, I hope to find like-minded individuals who I can befriend.

My favorite places I've travel to so far are New York City and Jamaica. I'm sure your city will be my third!
