Hello Couch Surfers, hope you're all doing very well!

My name is Joel, born and raised in Miami, FL. Father was born in Cuba and my Mother was born in Honduras. Haven't been to either country but will update when I do! (Went to Honduras to celebrate my first birthday but don't recall a thing!)

I'm very energetic and always in the mood for adventure. Spontaneous would be the best word to describe who I am. I'll never know what weird (good) face expression I'm displaying until someone points it out laughing. People around me usually consider me as funny, hyper and outgoing. I always tend to lean on resolving problems and contributing solutions. Life is short, therefore I decide to live with an optimistic perspective and attitude. The greatest gift that I obtain is being extremely charismatic. Tend to draw a lot of people near me due to being very friendly and loving.

Activities that I enjoy doing include taking many photographs, writing, hiking, walking in a new city for hours, learning new cultures while paired with great food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To create new friendships with people in the United States and abroad.

Interests

Recently became a huge photograph enthusiast! It seems that as I started traveling more the passion grew. I've seen myself writing more than I use to as well. Mostly write in two private journals. One for daily writing and a second one dedicated to travel. In contribution to many interests, also have a beach sand collection that I place into 2oz mason jars. As well as a collection of Starbucks City mugs.
