About Me

CURRENTLY TRAVELING THE USA ON A SCOOTER 🛵

I'm Lena , full-time traveller from Russia. I've visited 58 countries until now, and (kinda) residing now in the US in the motorhome.

I work with social media, video editing and travel writing. This job requires only wifi anywhere in the world, isn’t it a dream?

I’ve been to many countries and regions, but most of the time I spent in Latin America. I love the culture and Spanish language, I feel there like home and keep coming back. I lived in the jungle with indigenous people and hunt crocodiles with them, climbed 6100 m mountains and swam across the ice-cold river in Chilean Antarctic:) This kind of adventures I enjoy a lot. I am also doing my first steps in rock climbing and mountaineering.

Some of my stories you can find here: https://motohorek.life

Sometimes I travel with my husband Paul. We met in Colombia 5 years ago, and since then we live on the road together. We both work online. Paul is a programmer; he also makes music, loves snowboarding and other sports. We love hiking, camping in the mountains, learning something new about the world and ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to learn about people, to exchange ideas and to get new perspective on the world.

Interests

Mountains, hiking, camping, rock climbing. I am more outdoors/cold weather person, not a beach/summer/party girl.

Always looking for a crazy food to try.

I love indigenous people.
