Hey y'all, I'm a guy with a big afro aspiring to dance and groove across the world. I LOVE hiking, camping, and exploring and I moonlight on a radio show as Dr. Funk. I have a passion for whipping up and eating tasty concoctions, studying anything-science, and am always looking for the next great adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of travelling to far off places and making unforgettable memories with cool people who can show me all the hidden secrets of their hometowns, be it cool trails, local foods, or unique shops you otherwise probably wouldn't find staying in some generic hotel.

Interests

I love anything outdoor related--hiking, hang gliding, snow boarding, skydiving, caving, zip-lining, kayaking/canoeing--you name it, I've probably done it and would love to again! I love hot and iced tea, homemade soaps, and candles and I love exploring my surroundings wherever I am. I'm a sports junkie and I love learning about anything, especially anything science related, geography, geology, history, and natural resources. I also have a knack for tearing up dance floors from time to time ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others about America, the South, and show others the REAL American football experience down here.

I'm always willing to learn bits of a new language, new perspectives on life, and share in cool and unusual experiences whether that's hiking up for a mountaintop sunrise and sipping tea or tearing up a dance-floor in the local club.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help dominate some SPORCLE quizzes with my embarrassing knowledge of sports, history, science, and music trivia, I can talk or listen the night away, I'm very clean and self-sufficient so no need to worry about cleaning up after me, and I'm totally up for whatever experiences you're kind enough to treat me to. And I can and will cook :)
