CURRENT MISSION

Living life to it's fullest by experiencing as much of life as possible, wherever that is or wherever that shall take me!

ABOUT ME

I love traveling! I was raised by two travel agents who traveled the world before having kids and loved every minute of it. They exposed me to as many new and wonderful parts of the world as possible. I grew up in Maryland, my extended family all lives in Switzerland, I'm living in Tampa and I get the travel itch like crazy just about every three months. Sometimes I up and move myself, sometimes I just go on day trips.

I love meeting new people who love life and are open to experiencing new things without any hestitation!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest, no regrets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently in Maryland looking after some family issues, however, I'm planning to move back to Tampa by August 2008. When I'm back, I'll have a couch available in a spacious apartment in South Tampa, a fun, young, lively part of Tampa. I've got enough space for some people to blow up mattresses and make themselves comfortable around the rest of the apartment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new and can't wait for some experiences.

Interests

Anything outdoors in nature, be it hiking, kayaking, canoing, rock climbing (still learning), bird watching, picking wildflowers, or random frolicking.

Music - I love local music scenes of all genres. Music speaks to my soul! I sing some, but mostly just enjoy being in hearing/dancing distance of music.
