My name is Joel. I'm from Portland Maine. I'm 25 years old and like to adventure and check out new places. I am laid back, and respectful. I like to meet new people and have a good time.

I'm currently on an adventure making a documentary. The documentary is called Together We Walk. It's about me and my dog hiking the Appalachian Trail to raise awareness about animal kill shelters in the United States.

I'm a big animal lover, have a dog myself.
I use to work in a school so kids are cool with me. I'm into Art. I've been playing in bands since I was 13. I also write poetry and working on getting my first peice published.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I will be exploring the area and would rather hang with some nice people the stay in a overpriced hotel.
