I am a sincere, talented, genuine, passionate, self-empowered, influential, innovative and creative young man who was raised in Jamaica. I relish: singing, drawing, dancing, dramatizing, researching, reading and creating poems, stories and blogs. I am great at building a harmonious and synergistic atmosphere with new individuals and I have always been willing to try new things and be creative. One thing that really stands out is my genuineness and sincerity that is radiated in everything I do. I not only preach self-empowerment, I also exemplify and radiate it myself. I don't think of myself as a poor deprived youth who is making good. I think of myself as someone who from an early age, knew I had to make the best of my opportunities. I believe that the greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change their future by merely changing their attitude and the biggest adventure one can take, is to live the life of their dreams. I am a true epitome of a substantially successful young Jamaican and I am able not only to make a difference in my own life, but in other people's lives. Last year I published the book “Bank on Self-Investment—Belief Deposited, Triumph Withdraw.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend introduced me to this site. I love the appeal it brings and the fact that it allows individuals all across the globe to connected in an effort to reduce cost of living where accommodation on vacation is concerned. I am seeking to travel and find fun people to reside with and I hope to provide the same service in Jamaica.
