Expert Key West, Florida, United States

What I love most about Key West is its ability to appeal to everyone on some level. Having grown up on the island, I will always remember KW through a child's eyes. Maybe that's why I have such a fascination with the city. There are near endless opportunities to learn about and appreciate Key West simply through daily life. Please feel free to email me your questions/ comments, and let me know if you're thinking about making a trip...and want company.

I'm fired up on:

The beach- any beach. When I'm there, I'm me. Photography, writing, flip flops, good wine, sushi, reading, naps, being outside.

Tunes I rock out to:

You name it. Taking recommendations.

Travel style:

When I travel, I love to have people around to share it with- we all see life differently, and it's inspiring to hear how others are impacted.

Quote:

Foosball

Favorite artist(s):

Degas, Velazquez, Cindy Sherman, Robert Smithson, anyone who makes you think.

Favorite books:

The Metamorphosis, The Stranger, Hamlet, East of Eden, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Anthem

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

you.

I want to make a difference by:

connecting people...we can all learn from each other. That's life.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I stop treating it like a foreign culture and instead embrace the world culture.

We're all here together; one world.

Why I travel:

I travel to learn; I travel to share my life with others; I travel to close the gaps felt between cultures and continents.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Is there a bad place for that?

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Barcelona

Before I die I'd like to:

Make a difference.

Hi Stephanie!

Take care,

The shopping most definitely. Stay away from Wesclescas (sp??) Square and get on the little side streets. The prices are better and the boutiques have cuter clothes. Not sure what size you are but you have to dig for XS or S sizes. Also, try all kinds of cheeses here its awesome with wine. And try the wine warmed...just say warm vino and they'll "hopefully" know what your talking about. Have fun!!!

Any ideas for getting euros before we leave for Europe? The rate is getting so low, I want to make sure to take advantage of it while I can. Travelers cheques are always an option, but they're such a hassle to cash once you're over there.

Suggestions??
