I am a fun loving gal who looks for opportunities to do things out of the ordinary. I really love meeting new people, I am by no means shy and I am always up for something new. I am spontaneous and easy going, but aside from that pretty much a Capricorn to a tee.

I am originally from the Tampa Bay area, but lived in NYC for six years, LA for three and Europe in between before finally moving home a few years ago. I am the second oldest of eight kids (mostly step and half siblings), so I love having tons of people around.

I currently live in St. Petersburg, FL with my boyfriend, Blake; our dogs, Jiro and Murphy; two cats, Baby and Kudra; and, at times, even a few foster kittens! I love hosting, and we are happy to share our home with you and your pets, as long as they are well behaved and get along with everyone. I love adventure and continue to explore life (if only within driving distance these days).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I had an account for quite some time and I thought that it was about time I created a separate one. I've met some incredible people through CSing and have been overwhelmed by the amount of hospitality and epic stories people have to offer from around the world! It's always so amazing to meet people who open their door to strangers, and not only share their homes but themselves as well.

I hate being a tourist. I love being a temporary local.
