Narrative:

Captain and I arrived at the gpt airport at XA30 local time. Upon reaching the airport, the aircraft was prepared for the flight to fxe. The PIC gathered the WX briefing and discussed the appropriate action for the flight with me. The FSS advised possible thunderstorms along the routing. Briefing was made to avoid the thunderstorm. At XC15 local time, passenger and his family arrived at the gpt airport. Upon boarding the aircraft, the passenger were briefed with a standard briefing. Seatbelt signs were on throughout the entire flight due to WX conditions. The fasten seatbelt switch was occasionally flicked on and off to call attention to the seatbelt signs and an announcement was made. While flying at a cruising altitude of FL330, approximately 130 mi of rsw VOR, we encountered a pocket of moderate turbulence. At the time of the encountered turbulence, no other aircraft in the area reported any kind of turbulence. After the unforeseen event and before descent, I personally checked to see if the passenger were in good condition. Passenger was lightly bleeding from his nose. I personally asked if they needed medical assistance on the ground. Passenger replied that medical assistance was not necessary. The descent onto fxe proceeded with no other difficulties. Upon ldging and after disembarking the aircraft, passenger congratulated us on our good judgement in conducting the flight and then rewarded us with a tip. He also made a statement that implied that the WX cannot be controled and he further stated that the occurrence was not the crew's fault. Ground personnel were waiting at the ramp to greet the flight and saw that the passenger were in good condition. The passenger then walked to their car without assistance from the ground personnel.
