Hey everyone
I'm Riley from Clearwater Florida. I am very interested in diverse cultures, learning and experiencing them to the highest degree possible. Music is one of my first passions, I am musician & playing with my band is one of my top priorities. I love all types of music, and could spend days talking about albums that have influenced my life in a positive way. I'm a huge foodie, and love cooking/eating delicious and exotic foods. Animal lover since birth, appreciator of the arts and I promise to return the favor if you are ever in the area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently on a road trip to see parts of the country I have never seen. My mom passed away recently and I have always wanted to travel far from home. Now that I'm not taking care of her, I finally have some time to experience one of my dreams. If I have sent a request to you it is because we genuinely have something in common, and I want to experience the city you are in from your perspective. I'd like to get the local opinion on places to visit, sights to see and the best eats. I'm a people person and can't get enough good conversation.
