Hi, I'm Joshua, a 23 year old Australian on an 8 month adventure around the world!

I'm starting in Borneo, before heading to Mexico. From there the plans are less concrete, but hoping to visit Ecuador, Peru, and Patagonia. Open to changing my plans and to any suggestions (:

I'm looking forward to having many adventures, and hopefully to meet as many amazing humans along the way. Some of the most interesting people in my life I have met from my travels and I'm sure the people I meet on this trip will be no exception!

I'm open to pretty much anything! If you can't host me but want to hang out/go for a hike/need a climbing partner, definitely still hit me up (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people when I'm travelling and get their perspective on the places I'm visiting. I really enjoy connecting to people from all walks of life, and fascinated by how values, passion, and humour transcend all cultural and linguistic differences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in an igloo I made myself up on a mountain near Mt Cook, New Zealand

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my knowledge of the natural world, especially all things biology! I have a soft spot for astronomy, and and currently acquainting myself with the constellations in the skies and their stories.

I love learning about peoples passions and interests, no matter how niche or quirky! If you want to rant about something that keeps you up at night, I would love nothing more than to listen, and maybe ask a few questions ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing my love for life, my laughter, and my pondering about the world.

More tangibly, I love to cook for others, make music with others, and will always be up for an outdoor adventure!
