CURRENT MISSION

To boldy go where no Josh has gone before.

ABOUT ME

Well lets see.... My name is Josh and I'm from the the great state of Nevada in the USA. I recently graduated from the University of Nevada with a degree Biology and am eventually looking to get into graduate school in Ecology. For the time being, I have the driving urge to go out and explore new places, countries, food, people, etc. Whatever presents itself I look to embrace as a growing and learning opportunity. I love goofing around and never take myself too seriously (even when prudent). I am a nerd at heart, love intellectual conversations, science, and a pint or 5 of good beer.

PHILOSOPHY

You only get one shot at life, why not do some crazy shit sometimes?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still new to this, so I am just looking to get into it. It looks very fun and a great learning experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed at a couchsurfers place in Naples Italy and had a blast! Wouldn't mind having some more memorable experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most recently read Anthony Bourdains Kitchen Confidential and David Sedaris Me Talk Pretty One Day. Fantastic books and I'm looking to read some more now that I have some free time away from school. I enjoy original films where it's not overly formulaic and predictable. Getting more into music as I get older, but I have a hankering for underground hip hop often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snuck into Burning Man. Ssshhh... don't tell anyone!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you about my experiences for whatever that's worth. But also a bit about biology, science, and whatever else I can remember from the confines of my mind. I would love to learn about different languages and cultures since I don't have a lot of experiences outside my native America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences, my points of view, and sometimes even my beer!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, France, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, United States
