CURRENT MISSION

Taking my time with every step

ABOUT ME

I currently live and work in St. Petersburg, FL. Ive lived in Florida almost all of my life. I love warm weather and being in and by clean, clear water. I'm always looking for something to do, so even if you're passing through, I'd be thrilled to meet you. I love to travel and to experience as much as I can while I'm there. I'm a sucker for good food, good times, good drink, and good people.

PHILOSOPHY

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
-Aristotle

Why do we do it? Because we fuckin' can!
-Chris the Swede

I never let my schooling get in the way of my education.
-Mark Twain

I refuse to narrowly define my "American Dream" to the confines of four walls. A home is a pit stop, not a destination. Living is not working all week just to work on the house all weekend. The end of life will feel like tomorrow when you get there. Get out and have fun!
-Anonymous

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you want to CouchSurf with me, please use the request feature:) It's just easier to keep track of requests that way.

When I travel, I've used CouchSurfing multiple times and when I'm home, CouchSurfers have used my house several times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think Couch Surfing is a great idea and resource. I used it in Iceland and some domestic destinations and my hosts were amazing. I look forward to using it on many of my future trips
