One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing I have done is traveled to countries where I do not know the language and allowed my art to open doors for me. Trusting in oneself can be one of the hardest thing to do but when you believe, in yourself you will move mountains, OR in this case couches and couch surfers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I trained in the brazilian martial art form for a while ( Capoeira) I am learning to play the guitar so I know a few chords though I am a percussionist at heart. ( grew up playing the conga and the drum set). I am also a barber, I used to cut hair in a salon for a few years so I can teach people if they want how to cut hair and blend. I love learning about history and about peoples cultures. Would love to know how to backflip. I used to and still breakdance a little and can teach how to salsa and merengue.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A ear to listen and a mind to converse with.

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Colombia, England, Ireland, United States
