My name is Joel Chapman. I'm 22 years old, I live in Arlington Texas.
I work full time as a manager at an auto parts store in Grand Prairie Texas.
In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, walking at the park, and indoor rock climbing. My favorite video games to play are the Assassins Creed series. My favorite TV show is the Walking Dead. My favorite thing to eat is a pepperoni pizza and an ice cold Dr.Pepper.
Ive always wanted to skydive, bungee jump, sail long distance on a sail boat, and learn at least four different languages.
Im not really a smoker or drinker, unless Its with other people.
Ive never been out of the US before. My goal is to break free from my comfort zone and experience other cultures and meet new people and hopefully make some new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To put it simply I want to go on an adventure. I'm not exactly "well off" in the money department. However I won't let that stop me. I'm a firm believer that you can do anything you set your mind to. I don't want to get too far into life and realize I missed out on so much of what the world has to offer.
