Hi there! My name is Joseph and I'm a 26 year old filmmaker based in San Francisco, California. I love traveling and meeting new people. I enjoy staying active by biking, running, hiking, and exploring. I'm passionate about art, film, music, and most of all - food!

As a filmmaker, I love to explore new places through my camera lens. I'm always looking for documentary ideas and believe that everyone's story is profound in it's own unique way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in connecting with local hosts in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore who have stories they want to tell. For those who are too shy to share their stories, I'm looking for locals who can help me get the most out of my travel experience.

I'm also looking for spanish-speakers in California to help me practice and improve my spanish.
