About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take it all in and share whatever I can

ABOUT ME

I have recently moved out of the FT. Lauderdale area to Clearwater FL and St. Petersburg, FL. I split time between family and living on a sailboat in downtown St. Pete, which can be available to CSer's to stay in if they are up for it.

PHILOSOPHY

In real life, I sometimes have to be quite serious so the rest is about balance. Take care of yourself, family, and friends, and the rest takes care of itself aka The Universe Provides.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far... Incredible.

Interests

Outdoors, Bookstores, the bar, and the boat to name the major few, other than that I am down for anything rooted in positivity and/or decadence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Volcano Baru in Panama all night to see the sunrise on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time/ one of the few places in the world to see two oceans at once.

Spending two weeks being a monkey in Railay, Thailand. Rock climbing, kayaking, and night swimming with phosphorescent algae in the water.

The first time I sailed my boat out of the Marina by myself and into the Gulf of Mexico only to run aground on the way back in and get stuck for 14 hours...
