Howdy! I’ve been living in Tampa for 2 decades and been in Ybor city for nearly a decade now. I keep myself busy, but I like to relax in town with a cigar and a coffee where I can chat with folks for hours if they can keep the conversation going.

I’ve returned to Couchsurfing in 24’. I hosted a lot with my brother (Gerry) for years until we both got our own places some 6 years ago. Was very fond of the people I met here and the stories from around the world with people crashing on our couch during that time. Was also fun showing those people around Ybor city to see the hidden gem in Tampa that this place is.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I had a great experience hosting people in Tampa and showing them around the place. But I would also like to connect with others on my own travels as I have several bigger trips planned over the next few years.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My job had me work in every US state and Puerto Rico. I think I got a good handle on the US at large as a result. It really is a beautiful place.

教，学，和分享

After Traveling America so much, you really never cease to discover how useless popular perceptions of groups of people are out there.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My gut is a good cigar and I’ll buy dinner. But a host can let me know if they would be hoping for something else and I’ll see if I can accommodate.
