Hello!
My name is Joe and I am a 23 year old born, raised and still living in London.

I absolutely love travelling. I love meeting new people and sharing a drink together in different cities. I work in a pub in North West London, and am in the process of doing a CELTA (TEFL) course so I can move to Spain later this year. This is a very exciting prospect for me!

I am very easy going, and try my best to give out as much positive energy as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To hang out with travelers in London. If i'm not travelling myself, I like to share in the experiences of others !

Music, Movies, and Books

Tough question. Musically, a lot of singer song-writer stuff. James Taylor, Paulo Nutini, Bon Iver. Chilled acoustic. Funk and soul, motown- Otis Redding, Aretha etc. I am not snobby with my music. If it sounds good, i'll listen.

Movies….this is even tougher. Stand by me, Leon, Pulp Fiction, Les Intouchables. I saw Manchester by the Sea a few weeks ago. Well worth a watch, but desperately sad.

Books- Shantaram, A fine balance, The alchemist. Just picked up 'A game of thrones'... pretty epic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through S.E Asia. Absolutely loved it. Bagan in Burma was a definite highlight. Sunrise was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Sky-diving in New Zealand was also pretty incredible- for many different reasons.
1 month at a Kung Fu in China was also a pretty incredible memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open minded and as someone once said to me 'keep your mind like a blank canvas'. My point being, I am willing to learn off of others. With that said, I am also opinionated and like a healthy discussion about almost anything ! Spirituality, consciousness, the universe, space, sport, well-being, music, trivial rubbish - i'm not a conversation snob and like to feel I can do a bit of it all! provided there is a pint in hand!
