Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Il love to meet new people. I would show people around Tampa Bay FL. Orlando or the space coast. I want to meet people from all around the world, I want to lean so much from many different cultures.

I do not have a car, so we would have to use your car, if you have one. If not we will have to take the bus.
