CURRENT MISSION

Getting settled into a Central Florida lifestyle.
Working towards an A2 level of Turkish by March 2026.

BEFORE REQUESTING A COUCH

I LOVE hosting but can’t host the entire month of February or May through August in Florida since I will be in Colorado during that time. End of March and beginning of April I will be traveling as well.

I moved to Florida from Colorado on December 18th 2025 and still currently settling in my new place with my family. I can’t reliably host this year due to traveling, renovations and spending the summer working from Colorado (I go back and forth between the two states). Therefore, I have my hosting availability set to “Maybe Accepting Guests” at this time. Please give me at least a week or two heads up so that I can discuss hosting with my family that lives on the property. No last minute requests.

It is imperative that you like dogs before requesting a couch from me because my seven year old dog Santi (70lb/30kg) is very affectionate and will want your attention. If you don't like dogs then please refrain from sending me a couch request.

I work from home Monday through Friday from 1130-2000 and happy to spend time with you in the mornings or evenings. I grew up in the Orlando area but haven’t lived here in more than a decade so I hope to explore with you since this place has changed so much.

ABOUT ME

IG: _kevinpost

I love hearing about other people’s passions and stories.

Relationships, language, nature, outdoor recreation and revolutionary optimism are my primary objectives for travel.

I enjoy the outdoors no matter the weather but also love being rewarded after my outdoor adventures retreating to a cozy environment with a good meal, hot shower, book, tea and engaging conversations.

I don't care for alcohol or drugs of any kind but wont judge you if you like to partake.

When I travel I like a nice balance between adventure and relaxation.

In rural places I like to get an intimate glimpse of a culture and way of life, while learning new flavors and recipes.
In nature far away from civilization I partake in outdoor activities to truly recharge.
In vibrant and bustling urban centers I look for unique community spaces, bookstores, music venues or parks with musicians present, theaters, coffee shops, and libraries.

I enjoy spending time with locals and immersing myself in local cultures.

I make it a habit to participate in local Couchsurfing events and meetups whenever available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I literally have spent my entire adult life using Couchsurfing and honestly cannot imagine my life without it.

Music, Movies, and Books

A list of some books I am currently reading and have read here: www.goodreads.com/kevinpost
I get a lot of inspiration from books.

I am almost exclusively watching movies in Turkish for the comprehensible input, although I am trying to watch more artistic films when time allows for it. My all time favorite movies happen to be musicals because I grew up watching them as a child with my great grandmother and mother which gives me a huge sense of nostalgia.

My music tastes are greatly affected by the mood, circumstances or environment I'm in. Let's compare, show me your playlists! I’ve been on a Kurdish music kick lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced mutual aid and have fallen madly in love.
