I was born in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.
I spent some of my childhood in the United States of America.
I "grew up" in Toronto, Canada.
I’ve also lived in Mexico and France.
I’m a teacher but I strongly believe that real education happens outside of the classroom.
You can learn more about life by traveling than in any university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel, travel, and even more travel.

I had my first CS experience in October 2008. I went to Marseille and had a wonderful time. I was hosted by some great people and it confirmed my belief that this program actually works as it's supposed to.

Travel is much much more than just the touristic sites. Travel is learning about the culture, the people, the music, the food, the history, the politics, the ideas. Travel is especially about sharing great moments with people.

I can't wait to meet you...
