ABOUT ME

www.flickr.com/thestewartstravels

Olga:
Olga: My last year of college I got hooked on traveling when I went to Fiji to help run a clinic there... I've been a travel nurse for the last couple of years.

Josh: I've always been hooked on traveling, more so on a "local feel" level, mainly because we didn't have much money when we were growing up, and resorts and such were too expensive. We spent our summer on the water or at campfires along the beaches, lakes, and rivers, while skiing, sailing, and laughing.

Olga's dad was a rescue dog trainer so it's fun to watch her train and play with Zeus our dog, who will probably stay home on trips unless someone loves dogs a lot, but he'll be here to greet you when you arrive.

No one is perfect. My wife and I are quick to apologize, see that many things influence us, and work to become better people and a better couple. Do on to others.....

PHILOSOPHY

Do on to others as you would want done to you, you can never escape your Karma

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I am attending school it' hard to do much but I look forward to this summer!!!

Hosting has been fun, and we couchsurf'd when we moved into the area to find our first apartment.

Update: We have gone to a couple gatherings and look forward to the future of Tampa CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like humorous mystery novels, my husband likes sci-fi... We watch some movies and try to stay away from TV for the most part and do not have cable. Music preferences change too often but one all time favorite is Bob Marley or Jimmy buffet especially on the boat or in a hammock...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Olga:
Diving, Don't know where to begin in describing how awesome it is! Dolphin with a baby that circled us to check us out was cool while free diving one day.

Sky dove, snow camped, kayaked down waterfalls. Josh- broke my face in a high school soccer game collision.

Something I watched that's really amazing (but really an everyday occurrence) is watching a baby being born

Much of Thailand, Mexico, Australia, Canada, Fiji, and America's cultures and lands.

Josh:
Saw my wife alive after her surgery! Her appendix burst in Thailand. She had surgery to clean out her body cavity and remove the infection, 41 hours after we started traveling towards the hospital.

Floated down a class 3 rapid with a dislocated arm after it popped out while kayak surfing.

Saw my wife put a ring on my finger.

Saw many people smile after a rough day with their health.

Tokyo, Japan, NY, Houston, Bangkok, and everywhere else seen from a plane with my eyes glued to the window.

Teach, Learn, Share
