Hey guys. My name is Jose. I am 28 years old and work in social services. I first heard about couchsurfing while backpacking in Europe in 2010. Ive loved it and have been meeting people through this site for years, both internationally and locally. I enjoy traveling (who doesn't?)and try to go someplace new as often as possible. I currently live in a two bedroom apartment with my twin brother. He is not a couchsurfer himself but is open to the idea of it and doesn't mind hosting.I enjoy being active, whether it is going for a bike, some volleyball at the beach, or a nice swim. Really anything that gets my blood pumping (including skydiving, rollercoasters, cliff jumping, etc). I consider myself pretty adventurous and open to trying most things once (MOST). I've done my far amount of traveling ever and know how fun it can be if you have the inside scoop on the city. I've met amazing people through CS and have had the opportunity of showing couch surfers I;ve met over seas my side of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life in a way I wouldn't mind living it a million times again. make the best of this short life. LIFE IS A JOURNEY... AND, REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING, THE ONLY THING THAT MATTER IS THAT YOU HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
