About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pure hedonism... Pure meaning... Country and bucket list ticking...

ABOUT ME

My birth certificate labels me as 'Joseph Anthony Brion Alcantara'. Yet, in this variety-driven world, the four-word name evolved into a lot of things: '€œJ.A.'€, '€œJoseph'€, '€œJuly'€, '€œJoe'€, '€œA.J.'€, 'Joe-joe', '€œSir Joseph'€ and '€œTaba'€. Corresponding to these names are also various roles that i love portraying: son, brother, best friend, friend, confidante, prayer partner, manager, teacher, etc. But above all, i'm simply a voyager, enjoying the journey in this so-called life.

PHILOSOPHY

Cliche, yet this is has been my mantra since I was six years old: "Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you", thanks to my godfather for giving me that powerful statement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been active in CS back in 2009 while I was in Indonesia. Failed to be in the loop in 2010 when I moved to Singapore. Came back to the picture in 2011 when I moved to Dubai.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Directly - Had a couple of couch surfers in my apartments in Jakarta and Dubai.
Indirectly - Met people/strangers in my travels over the last few years!

Interests

Pretty standard, honestly - travel, food, drinks, movies, TV, music, beach, spa, books, gadgets, Crossfit, photography, social media, advertising. Although, I'd be willing to try anything once - except those that are related to high places or deep waters!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have done bungy... twice!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm... This is quite a toughie... Well, perhaps what I can share would be my gift of words and speech - I can inspire and motivate people (consciously and unconsciously) in a holistic sense, depends on the context of the subject being discussed.
