CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends, network, learn about different cultures. Just bought a house with an extra bedroom - was considering AirBnBing in but thought I might just do a test run here first.

ABOUT ME

Hello,

I've been out of the couch surfing loop for a while now but I still want to stay connected. I recently bought my first single family home in St Pete Florida and I plan on being here for a while. I used to live in a condo with restrictions but not any more!!!

Funny story - I hosted a British guy years ago when I first moved to St. Pete. I added him on Facebook and about 4 years later I did a solo trip to Europe where I stopped in Madrid and made friends with one of the girls that worked at the front desk - She was also British. I added her on Facebook and my previous surfer was a mutual friend, turns out they had dated before. What a small world!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Live for experience. It's been a good ride so far and I hope to keep this party going for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted about 5 times. I've stayed at Airbnbs but never actually couch surfed

Interests

Like I said, I love to travel and meet people from different cultures. Americans have a very material mindset which is fine, but meeting people from other cultures made me realize it doesn't have to be like that to be happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of underground hip hop, which is big where I'm from. Besides that, I've been told I have a pretty good collection of music. Haven't seen any good movies lately but there are some great shows I sometimes rewatch like Mad Men, Better Call Saul, Californication, Sopranos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Germany for two years and got to see a lot of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think people are starved for interaction after the whole world shut down. It's a crazy time to be alive but I'll never live in fear.
