My name is Joseph. I am a boy.

I have black hair, two hands and a nose in the middle of my face since I was born.
I smile sometimes.
I try to brush my teeth twice a day. I don't kill flies and other insects unless I think my life is in great danger.
I have a smooth beard. I can make my ears and nose moving and a wave with my belly. These are my only talents.
Everyday I dream of having a super power. Reading people's minds is my favourite one. Or being as strong as Sangoku. Or being able to speak with animals. In the same dream, I dream of finding Aladdin's lamp to make this dream come true.
Sometimes I am an asshole... Quite often actually.
I like making bad jokes. I am the only one who laughs but that way I can say that I am unique :)
I was used to eat sheeps' testicles when I was a very little boy. My mother said it was good to stop peeing in my bed. It didn't work.

My name is Joseph, and I would be glad to meet you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause I like meeting people, discovering who they are, what they like, learning from what they know and what they think.
I like helping travellers that visit my city to have a good time and make them discover the places I like.
I like meeting locals when I travel myself to better learn the culture of the place and to know their own favourite places of the city.
Because I always have an interesting moment when I meet a member of Couchsurfing.

And my dreamt purpose is to host travellers, but I don't have my own place yet :'(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting born was quite amazing, I remember I was surprised when I saw light and human faces for the first time. I was living 9 months alone and I absolutely didn't expect that other people than myself could exist. I remember I was thinking about the purpose of my toes (as I never used them) when suddenly a soft light appeared from nowhere and some unknown force pushed me to this light. "What the fuck is going on?" was I asking to myself.
And before trying to answer I was out! Impossible to clearly see with this light! I was screaming while saying to put me back but no one undertsood what I was telling. I was just moved from a place to another. I insisted but they seem not to even care about my demands!
Black hole then. I was back in the darkness and with my dreaming thoughts. Maybe this was just a new kind of nightmare. BUT... But I woke up. I was so hungry but my umbilical cord wasn't there anymore!!! What the hell did they do to me ?! I had so many questions, so many mysteries.
It took me some years to understand what happened this day and here I am now :)

By the way I still don't know the purpose of my toes

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you an irakian recipe (if you like cooking), how to play backgammon, we can play football together (or any other sport). And of course I will teach some basic french, dutch and arabic words, in case you're interested :)

I somehow like drinking with people! Not always with the only purpose of getting drunk but mainly for the pleasure of drinking good beverages. Actually I also like not drinking with people. It depends on the person of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my philosophy of life and some of the very few things I know about the world and life :)
I try to help as much as I can with your journey.
