I'm currently moving but will be back at my parents house. I'm saving up for a Thailand trip and a wanting to buy a Condo! So its a slim possibility to host! I'm definitely down for showing you around and showing you the CS community in my area! I have washer/dryer, internet and cable! Smokers are allowed as long as they smoke on the porch. Feel free to use kitchen while you are here but please provide your own food because I tend not to food shop much and go out frequently. I only work Mon- Fri til 6pm! If Im available I have no problem picking you up from the airport cause Tampa International Airport is like 20 mins from my place! I am centrally located in Tampa Bay near I-275. I am within 20 mins of all St. Pete and Clearwater Beaches, night club areas such as Channelside/ Ybor City and about 5 mins from St. Pete Pier, Baywalk, Jannus Landing, Shops pubs and delicious restaurants. My home is approximately 35 mins from Theme Parks like Busch Gardens and Adventure Island Water Park! Im abit of a party girl and am always out and about with friends!

How I Participate in CS

Hmmm where to begin! I'm the Moderator/Organizer/CS Ambassador for the Tampa Bay, Florida Area.... I've been actively on CS for the last 3 years!I have done an interview for ABC Action News on CouchSurfing... Check it out! Video Article Link:
3262@wfts.dayport.com" title="http://www.abcactionnews.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=3262@wfts.dayport.com" target="_blank">http://www.abcactionnews.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=3262@wfts.dayport.com Im always trying to get more involvement from my local CSers! From charities and fund raisers to meets and outings! I have over 200 plus members so far for the Tampa Bay Group and I host numerous monthly meets all across Tampa Bay from dinner meets in Tampa to Laser Tag in Clearwater to Block Parties in St. Pete! Its always something different so keep your eyes peeled on the meet page! You name it I will try to organize it to help include ALL CSer near and far!! Our Dec dinner meet had almost 50 CSers from 4 continents! It was our first annual holiday toy drive as well and we raised well over $600 to buy games for the children at CASA (Center Against Spousal Abuse) Children Centers! A huge thank you to all of you that helped spread the holiday spirit! I love this project, it is my total alter EGO! I cant go one day with out going on! If anyone has questions or needs advice feel free to ask!

CouchSurfing Experience

I surfed well over 50+ couches by now when I traveled the world! Ive traveled to 22 countries in 2 years thanks to CS! I couldn't have done it with out these memorable people! I couldn't wait to get home a start hosting in my area! Ive hosted about 15 people to date! Its so rewarding and exciting to meet these extraordinary people from around the globe!

Interests

My interest are TRAVELING, Movies-too many to count, Karaoke, Pool, Pub & Bar Hoppin, Making money and spending it, Photography, Scrap booking! Right now my biggest interest is expanding my involvement with the CouchSurfing community! I have a web page for our Tampa Bay Group CSer with pictures and community involvement we've all shared in!

Philosophy

"A once in a lifetime adventure, shouldn't be limited to ONLY once in a lifetime!"

"Do not travel to escape life, but travel so that life does not escape you!"

"True Wealth is about more than money. Its about achieving life"

Music, Movies, Books

Music- I like to shake my ass so Hip Hop and R&B are always a good choice! But I also like slow songs, Cassidy teases me by calling me Slow Jams! I'm always open to any and all kinds of music. People introduce me to new stuff everyday-(Cassidy your loved!)!


Movies- Horror and Comedy- SAW, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, LOLR I, II, III, Joyride, Big Lebowski, Napoleon Dynamite( running joke with my friends)!

Secrets That'll Help You Stretch Your Travel Dollar:

* Fly to cheaper horizons. There are still some destinations where you can get a lot of value for your dollar because they’re not typically popular. Places like Peru, Buenos Aires and Vietnam. If you do a little research, it could lead to a great adventure on a smaller budget.
* Grocery shop. Get a room with a kitchenette, or at least a small refrigerator. Then, visit the local supermarket and stock up on picnic and sandwich supplies. If you try to limit your restaurant visits to one per day, you’ll save a bundle.
* Phone home for free! Free Wi-Fi has gone global. So do a Google search to find the closest place to where you’re staying. A lot of Starbucks are offering the service. Then, sign up to Skype for free VOIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. You can phone home at no cost.
* Go where the locals go. When you do venture out for a meal, the restaurants and bars frequented by locals are the way to go. You’ll get more authenticity and atmosphere, and save money because the prices are generally cheaper than the tourist traps.

-Pack Items to Give Away... In underdeveloped countries bring candy to give the local children. When I went to Egypt I brought boxes of pens & pencils from the $1 store and give them as well. These are such special treats that will bring a huge smile to their faces!

-Mix in cities and villages

-Join the celebration. Hit as many festivals, national holidays, and arts seasons as you can!

-Leave some slack in your itinerary. Don't schedule yourself too tightly

-Save your good health. Visit countries that may be hazardous to your health (North Africa or the Middle East) at the end of your trip

-Decide on the places you want to see

-Very often, Europeans think "vegetarian" means "no red meat" or "not much meat." If you are a strict vegetarian, you'll have to make things very clear.

-You can buy anything you need in Europe, but it's handy to bring along:
Band-Aids, Hand sanitizer, Bug Spray
Antibiotic cream (in Europe, you may need a prescription to buy skin ointments with antibiotics)
Non-aspirin pain reliever
Medication for colds and diarrhea(NyQuil, DayQuil, Imodium, Dramamine)
Prescriptions and medications (in labeled, original containers)

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Ive seen so many exquisite things, like:

Pyramids
Stonehenge
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Eiffel Tower
London Bridge
Big Ben & London Eye
Colosseum
Arc De Triomphe
Berlin Wall
Loch Ness
Trevi Fountain
Acropolis
Canals of Venice
Notre Dame

I have been spending the past week intending to come up with a unique, non-cliché and incredibly positive reference for Corrine but so far nothing does her justice! She is absolutely amazing! She is the perfect host/tour guide of Saint Petersburg, Florida (the peninsula on a peninsula) and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to meet her. I met her along with my two Turkish guest and when we departed from Saint Petersburg I said to them, "Man, I am so happy to have met Corrine, what a great personality!" My guest's reply, "What? This is your first time meeting her? You two act as if you've known each other for years!" I only spent one day with her so far, but I feel as if we've been friends for a while. She's great and is what the couchsurfing project is about.

When you host her, give her a hug and say, "this is from Kevin".

Corrine is a great planner & has a true love for CS! Tampa Bay is lucky to have her as our group leader & Ambassador (congrats!). I am glad I got to meet her & hope to have the chance to get to know her better soon.

I love her because she loves Asian food ;-). She's such a sweetheart. Fun, bubbly and witty. She exudes so much energy that everytime you hang out with her feels like a party! Im glad to meet her finally as Bastien only have good words for her. Let her do the "thumb trick" if you get to meet her. Oh, and promise I won't do the coffee thing again ;-)

This girl is awesome ! I met her at a CS birthday party and within minutes we were friends ! She's very talkative, caring and funny. But she's like a mogwai : if she drinks vodka shots after midnight, watch after your fingers :) Corrine, I really hope seeing you soon !
UPDATE : She invited me for Memorial Day at her place in Florida, and took very good care of me for amazing 4 days.
UPDATE : Thx for visiting me in NYC, hope you had a great time here :p

She put up with some crazy hosting situations where random people ended up staying in my apartment, one even sharing a bed with her. Then she kept up with the continuous NYC partying like an old hand :-) To top all of that she's one of Bastien's oldest CS friends and any good friend of Bastien's is a friend of mine.

Corrine was my very first host and I couldn't be happier with my experience. She dedicated her entire day to making sure I had a good time. We went to a shooting range, watched the sunset on the pier, fed pelicans, and had the best sushi ever. Not to mention she has one of the most comfortable couches on the planet. Even though I only spent a day with Corrine I feel like she is great friend and I would love to visit her again. I would host her in a heart beat.

I am really bad at meeting new people - - Which is why I really enjoy the idea of couch surfing, it makes meeting new people a lot easier. She was so fun and open though, I never felt uncomfortable or nervous. It felt like I had known her forever! She was awesome, should you get the chance to meet her I am sure you would agree.

Corrine was an astounding host! (Not bad for her first time hosting).

She's kind and definitely more generous than I expected. This will be an experience to remember. She always has another good idea up here sleeve, and even though I was visiting during a very hectic time for her, she still went out of her way to assist on my journeys!

Cant wait to visit again, and hope you can some see Canada *my area* some day!

While she was traveling Europe, I decided to meet her in Paris and fell in love with the place. We had a wonderful time and stayed with our host Sylvain for a week. We saw the Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, Moulin Rouge, Arc de Triomphe, and red light district(wink wink). We also traveled to Barcelona for my xmas present. I had a wonderful time and was so ecstatic to share this with such a great friend. I had a great couchsurfing experience and hope to have many more. Corrine's even crashed on my couch (after partying)and she was the perfect guest, does that count? ;p Love to my secret baguette!
