ABOUT ME

Lets see, I'm Raymond, and a few years ago when traveling europe I realized how much I love traveling and meeting people from all over the World. I'm usually out with friends having a pint or hanging out at the beach - or - most days trying to learn spanish!

PHILOSOPHY

Get Busy Livin' or get Busy Dyin'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been lucky enough to meet people for all over the globe and it's always an enriching experience - The experiences that are always the best when traveling are when you meet a local and they show you THEIR city, not taking the beaten path. I think if people are planning on visiting Tampa, and want to know the best restaurant, clubs, pubs, beaches, parks, museums, etc, and I can help them get the best experience, then hopefully one day i'll receive the same when I'm traveling. So there it is, pick my brain and maybe we can meet up and i'll show you what Tampa has to offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well,I am new at this, but fortunately have lots of friends in lots of different places with lots of couches that i've gracefully crashed on. I backpacked in europe a few years ago and I found some of the best experiences were the ones where I was at hostels meeting new people, not hotels. I guess this is why I think this site is so genius!
