Hi, my name is Joseph. I've been working on photography for a few years and I'm just having fun with it before I add the pressure of finding clients. Also trying to see a bit of the world for fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people, and a fellow couch surfer told me it's an incredible way to do so. I want to be traveling a lot, so that is another way couchsurfing will come in handy as I can learn from locals and have a more intimate face-to-face experience.

Interests

Surfing: I became interested in surfing August 2011. I started surfing June 2012 and have been trying to get some good waves every summer. So far, so good, but I'm not terrific, but it is one of my biggest passions

Photography: I developed a passion for photography April 2014 and have been pursuing it since. I love outdoor, nature, and adventure photography. I regularly post on Instagram @joe.the.eskimo

Camping: Going to school in Virginia, we were close to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I quickly fell in love with them and tried to go camping and hiking every chance I could get.

Guitar: I've been playing guitar since 2006. Though I don't focus too much time on this, I love jamming with people and learning more

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anywhere from light acoustic/indie to hardcore music. I don't particularly like country, hip-hop, and opera. Everything else I either enjoy or tolerate :)

Movies - I love comedy and adventure. I'm pretty easy to please with movies, though I do like critiquing them. Some action movies bore me, but I still might enjoy them, you never know

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a 9-day surf trip from New Jersey to North Carolina. You can find more by using #sicknastysurftrip on most social media

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share photography methods and learning from others. I think we can all learn from each others' experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, laughs, and memories. I'm pretty open-minded, respectful, and clean. I love to get out and experience other sub-cultures.
