Hi Everyone!

I'm new to Miamiurbanlife.com, and I'm hoping to make new friends and network here in Miami. I grew up in Newton, MA (10 min. outside Boston). I just graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, in Savannah, GA. I am so thrilled to be home in Miami now, where my parents have lived for the past four years. I love Yoga +Pilates, reading, travel, and all kinds of art. Please check out my profile to see what kinds of jobs I'm looking for--including babysitting!

Nice to meet you neighbors :)

Hi Everyone!

I've been a member for Miamiurbanlife.com for a few months now but hadn't really checked it all out until recently. I was born in England but raised in Toronto Canada from an early age. Right now I'm a Medical Student with plans to specialize in plastics ( the bread and butter of Miami..lol) Anyway I'm currently in Miami now, and although I travel often, Miami is the place I want to settle down in. Anyway I'm looking to make new friends down here, and really enjoy what the city of Miami has to offer. I love to be active, whether it be rollerblading on south beach to going out and looking at all the great architecture in the city. Like to play hockey, soccer and volleyball. So if anyone is heading to the beach for a game of pickup, feel free to drop me a line. Take care.

Hi! I'm Rachel and I live and work in Downtown Miami. Originally from NY, I moved here a couple of years ago and really see the potential in Miami! I love MIAMIurbanlife.com for it's potential too.

As I walk around my neighborhood, I feel like we need more local bars, hangouts, places to convene and blow off steam after work. One of the things I miss most is the "neighborhoodiness" that you get up North. If MIAMIurbanlife.com can bring people together, Downtown can become a real neighborhood. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends.

Hello, My name is John and I live in Latitude on the River in Brickell! I am a firefighter for Miami Dade county and recently finish my real estate license and just signed with Keller Williams. I was born and Raised in Miami, kendall to be specific, and I absolutely love the City life and a huge fan of what City of Miami Mayor Diaz began for Downtown Miami. I love to make new friends, network, and most of all just enjoy my time with incredible people, already have one hell of a group of friends, but there is always room for more. I am very active, love sports both watching and playing, and I love to travel. Thats enough for an introduction, now I would like to add to the efforts here...

I totally have to agree with everyone, that its about time we start pushing for a more vibrant and openminded downtown(Brickell, Downtown, Park West, etc...). Miami has a rap for being independent and into ourselves, but I think we have a chance to change that!!! Unforanately, its tough times, so Rachel we are going to have to be patient on the additional places opening up, but we have plenty of great hot spots to meet. I feel in these times, people are looking for guidance and for the first time in a long time, opening their minds to ideas, so its our opportunity to show the potential of a new vibrant city!

Alex, I would love to help in any way to make this City what it is meant to be, HOT! And make it one of the best places to live with friendly neighbors, great job opportunities and a fun place to enjoy every moment!

I believe this city has a ton of potential, especially with all the other Big cities lacking one of our best qualities, "The incredible Weather!"

Hey People,

Moved into 50 Biscayne about 2 weeks ago, been in the area for about 2 months from Orlando. I'm a Sr. User Interface Designer, another words a Web Designer by day. By night I stand on my balcony and look for evil doers from the 54th floor. Yeah, you..I've seen you..

Ok, not really, I did happen to launch Urban Light Works this year at Ultra Music Festival. I do interactive laser graffiti on the sides of buildings, large walls, etc. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUTiyGnUxAg
www.urbanlightworks.com

I work for Interval International in South Miami, lets see...I leave on the weekends and travel back to Orlando to spend time with my family. So, I miss the weekend happenings around here. I am into all kinds of stuff. Urban Light Works is something fun that also makes me a few bucks here and there. Oh, just got booked by Smirnoff for a 3 week gig in Mumbai, India at the end of this year. Kind of excited about that one. Nothing else really, techy geek, European car lover; long walks on the beach, puppies, kittens and cuddling. LOL..cuddling is ok, the rest is a take it or leave it kinda thing.

So, whats everyone's thoughts on Mia at the base of 50 Biscayne?

Hello My name is Eric Steven Cantres, I moved to South Beach two years ago from New York. I began driving Limousines and Barbacking at the Glass lounge in Miami beach . Back In New York I was a licensed pest contol technician and a cab driver in Staten Island and Brooklyn. I now live by North bay villiage, but I am always in the Downtown area I guess I like it and ended working alot down there because it has that type of Manhatten feel that I did not miss up in NYC I was always in traffic for like 14 to 16 hours a day going to and from work and while working. Some days pushing 20. So when presented the oppertunity to move down here I jumped. I work like 5 part time jobs. 1. I works as a sales rep/cashier/greeter,events runner for a valet company in Miami we have locations in Downtown Miami and Midtown , Hotel and residential.2. Van Shuttle driver for liebt way tours 18. 3. I drive the Forge house shuttle limousine occasionaly ( The Forge is under remodeling until december) 4. I have a website that sells tickets-t-shirts-plane tickets its www.multipleticketsource.com
5. I sometimes help my friends that have small business start ups get computer acclimated get them started on All the social networks and teach them some ways to market there stuff on the web after a couple of visits they dont need my help anymore lol :)). I am thinking of moving to The downtown area . Its the closet thing I can compare with Manhatten. I took Manhatten for granted when I lived in New york for 33 years ( I never went to the empire state building or the statue of liberty} When I do driving jobs in The brickell area by Novecento and The Four seasons it kind of reminds me of my days driving a taxi in the upper east side of Manhatten. Thanks for reading. I enjoy surfing Miami urban life have a good night everybody.

Hello everyone! This is my first visit to miamiurbanlife.com. I didn't know what to expect but It's nice and warm in here. I live in the Roads / Brickell area. I plan to move in a condo late this summer so I'm looking forward to meeting new neighbors. I am a total beach bum, but hard work and positive attitude is my life with a big purpose but the real fun comes after the work is done. I came to Miami from Brazil in 1990. In 2002 I joined the US Army and in 2007 returned to Miami Beach. Now I am a full time student and with my work habit I'll retire before my 30th birthday. I'm single w/ no kids = not much overhead. I am a cancer, deeply spiritual, nutrition freak, and I enjoy long walks around town. I'm looking to connect with good hearty people.

beleza!

Hi everybody. Just joined up today and glad to see so many people on here! My wife and I moved here last year from Seattle. I work from home (software engineer for Mozilla Firefox) and she works downtown, so it makes sense that we live in a condo. We really like the Brickell area, but found the perfect condo for our family in Met1. As we have a young child, we don't get out much. We do enjoy going to Bayfront Park, hanging out in Mary Brickell Village as well as Miracle Mile in the gables.

Hi neighbors!

I moved to The Ivy (at River Front) a few weeks ago. I'm still discovering the area an trying to familiarize myself with everything Brickell has to offer.
I enjoy working out, stargazing, reading, having coffee/tea at Starbucks, and I love the outdoors.
I am originally from Peru and came to the U.S. about 7 years ago. I went to Lima University to get an undergrad in Systems Engineering. Then I went to Greensboro, NC to get a M.S. in Computer Science and I am currently doing an MBA at FIU.
I work for Tracfone Wireless Inc. where I am a Senior Jave Developer.

God bless you all!
