CURRENT MISSION

Planning a trip to Puerto Rico with my girlfriend from February 22-29 (It's a leap year, SURPRISE!)

ABOUT ME

What is up Couch Surfers! I'm Joe. Sometimes known as Joey Smooth or Smooth Joseph. I'm a 23 year old Graphic Designer, artist and musician living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I finished up school in 2014 and since then I've been working in Pittsburgh, traveling, and playing shows all over the East Coast of the US. I'm taking some time off from "Adulting" to get back out there and travel again. All I know is I don't want to look back on my 20's and remember working in an office...
