Hi! My name is Joshua, and I am a 41 years old. I have a passion for traveling and exploring the world! I love encountering new languages, foods, people and cultures!

Disenchanted with the traditional lifestyle of having a steady work routine, when I turned 30 I quit my office job and embarked on a journey that changed me forever. I moved to New Zealand where I lived and worked for 9 months on an organic vineyard, and from there began exploring other parts of the world. One of my favorite experiences thus far was living with a Kanak tribe on the tiny island of Lifou, New Caledonia in the South Pacific. I currently call The Big Island of Hawaii home. I’m currently studying to be a social worker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see as much of this amazing world as possible, and I really enjoy meeting new like minded people.

Interests

I am very interested in organic farming, spirituality, travel, sustainability, and off-the-grid living.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all books by Eckert Tolle such as The Power of Now. I love Science Fiction movies such as The Matrix and Avatar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped a Sri Lankan family who had just opened their family hotel in Kandy, Sri Lanka a few days prior establish an online presence to attract new business by taking photographs of their hotel rooms then creating a Google listing, yelp listing, and other online listings which gave them the push they needed to attract new business.
