About Me

Hi! I am a pretty laid back and open-minded person. I feel that experiences are one of the most valuable things that you get out of life. There are very few things that I wouldn't try in life. I love sports, music, movies, art, and many more things. I would consider myself a very adaptable person and I feel that depending on the occasion or circumstances you do one thing or another. I could be in the mood to chill on the beach drinking a corona and talking, or going all out a a local bar or club. I'm pretty much down for whatever :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine introduced me to couchsurfing. He told me how he has met so many interesting people through couchsurfing and he loves it. I am really new to this and as of now had not had the chance to use couchsurfing. But this being the first year that I really have the means to travel I plan on using it and meeting some really cool people all over the world.

Interests

I consider myself pretty well-rounded. I love all kind of sports (from baseball that I played as a kid, to basketball that I play now, to surfing or bowling, anything goes), I love music (anything from classical, to rap, to UK grime), occasionally I enjoy doing yoga and meditating. I also like to read on my free time as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really I appreciate all kinds of music. I love rap and hip-hop as well as R&B, I also enjoy all type of house music (depending on my mood). Occasionally I listen to Jazz, rock, reggae, etc.

My favorite movie of all time is Pulp Fiction, or really any movie by Quentin Tarantino.

When I was a kid I loved all the Harry Potter movies, now I would say that I love the Millenium series (the movie The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is based on the first book of the series).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 15 I left home to pursue my dream to play basketball, and played ball for the prestigious Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. Ever since then I've been living on my own and pursuing my lifelong dream of being a professional basketball player. I guess that's pretty amazing haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.“

(Mother Teresa)
