Connect with us on Instagram and view our travels @travelforward_ I am 27 years old and have been married to the love of my life for 4 years. I was born in Russia while he was born in Jamaica but neither of us have accents ironically! We have a Havamalt puppy who can perform many tricks and wants to cuddle with you! We live in a lakefront apartment in Orlando, Florida. It is centrally located, 10 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from downtown (by car) and has a gorgeous lake view! I am a nurse that takes care of chronically sick children in their homes so that they don't have to live in a hospital. My husband is a paramedic. We would love to host, be hosted, or just meet up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because traveling is my lifelong passion, SO either I'm traveling to you or you're traveling to me but either way it will be awesome

Interests

I absolutely LOVE adventure in the great outdoors, especially near water! There are so many breath-taking beaches just an hour away or lakes here locally we can go to! (If I don't have work). I can teach my adventurous couchsurfers how to paddleboard! Also love photography so fair warning I plan on taking lots of pictures and videos together for memories :) I believe couchsurfing is for making connections and exchanging our cultures to better understand each other. If you come to our home, you are part of our international family. You will get a pin on our family map!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is indie pop rock electronic and alternative. My husband and I love going to music festivals! Favorite movies are based off true stories and drama/thrillers. As far as books, favorite author is Gary Chapman, Radha Agrawal, and Vishen Lakhiani. These are all books on self-improvement as we are always trying to grow in all aspects of life. Hoping we could learn something from you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the incredible blessing of going to Antarctica through a scientific expedition. We went kayaking through the glaciers, landed on shore and went with snow shoes to see penguin colonies up close!!

Teach, Learn, Share

There is so much to share between us, where to even begin?? I have travelled to many places, met so many diverse individuals and observed some unexpected things. Being a medical professional, I could give you advice on health topics. Maybe relationship advice? My husband and I have been through a lot. Whatever it is you're looking for we will try and assist.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, my perspective, and my appreciation! If you need me to cook or clean around the home while I'm there, I would be more than happy to. You would have a friend to keep in future travels!
