CURRENT MISSION

To understand the lives of others

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm Josh and I'm a student going into my first year at Ryerson University in Toronto studying media production. I'd like to say that I am a rockin' good time! I adore travelling and learning more about the world around me. I am polite, clean, friendly and always open to new experiences. Overall, I'm a pretty easy-going person with a broad range of interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never couch surfed and very excited to try!

Interests

I love literature, food, coffee, film, politics, photography and a cold glass of white wine. When I travel, I love to explore the unknown, get off the beaten path and truly understand the lives of others. I believe that traveling is far more than tourism. It is about full immersion into a different society, no matter how different it is from one's own. Life is all about new experiences and new friendships along the way!
