About Me

What's up weary travelers!? Whether you are exhausted and just need a place to crash or you want to experience St Pete with a local, I've been there and I'd love to help. I work best on short notices (please no more than two days notice) and have a few references or be super convincing that you're not going to butcher me in my sleep. I live in Old NE, the closest neighborhood to downtown.

There are plenty of things to do in St Pete, depending on what you're in to. Hit me up and tell me your situation.

A little about me, I have been in Florida twelve years, I'm a boat captain as well as a boating instructor. I try to cook meals at home as much as possible. I believe time spent relaxing is equally as valuable as time spent being active. I play beach volleyball almost every evening and can probably be talked in to slack lining, geocaching or acro yoga at any point in time.

I'm also a skydive coach so if you're into that, the best dropzone in the country is not far away. I'd be up for some gainers out of planes any day!

Looking forward to your visit.
