Claudia & Juan

Relationship Length: 3 years

My husband and I just moved to Florida. We are doing odd jobs to pay the rent while job hunting. It is hard meeting new people and we miss our families back home. We depend on each other a lot but we needed to build a stronger support system now that we are on our own. The time we have spent together on our relationship has allowed us to relax and to gain self-confidence in our new environment and grow into a new city. We now have made new friends and enjoy parts of Florida we didn’t experience in our old community.
