CURRENT MISSION

Live for new experiences involving travel, music, sport, and friends around the globe. I aim to learn / share / teach every day. Also, to show off all Orlando has to offer to old and new friends alike! Forget the tourist attractions, there are so many incredible things the city offers: parks, natural springs, local and unique eateries, Lake Eola, countless nightlife districts, bike trails, Orlando City(!!!) to name my favorites.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving person who is all about live music, travel, and showing others a good time. I currently live in Downtown Orlando, a 2 minute walk from Lake Ivanhoe, a 20 minute walk / 3 minute drive from door to the center of Orange Ave, ideal for any young person living in Orlando.

I am currently unavailable to host but would LOVE to show you the city, catch a drink or meal if you think we'd enjoy learning from each other! Ideal meet up would be anywhere near the downtown area.

My travels this year 2018 have brought me to visit friends in Paris, Sevilla, and London. Other travels will be taking me to Northern and Eastern Europe for two weeks in June (reuniting with my closest friends from my study abroad in Barcelona 2010, trying to see a few World Cup games, and celebrating my sister's masters completion in Stockholm). For the rest of the summer, Denver, D.C., and Managua are on the calendar.

I also coach competitive youth soccer year round, 11 and 12 year old boys. Work wise I work M - F with occasional Sundays. I also play soccer with friends and watch as much footy as I can. I am always up for a concert as long as it is not country. Sorry country fans.

Look forward to hearing from you.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy, live one day at a time. Give to others at all costs.
