Overview
About Me
Hey hey! I'm Josh. I grew up in Byron Bay but now live in Bondi. Prior to Bondi, I spent about a decade abroad, living in many different countries, including Nicaragua, France, the UK, Kenya, Sweden, Iraq and Mongolia and travelled to many more, for both work and leisure. I previously worked as a journalist and photographer, specialising on humanitarian disasters. Throughout my travels, I had the pleasure of staying with so many wonderful humans and now that I'm settled in Bondi I look forward to paying it forward and offering my space to other travelers passing through. You must enjoy the company of dogs as I have a three year old border collie named Poppy, who is rather loving and so will force you to give her some cuddles.
Please feel free to reach out via Instagram as well, as I'm more likely to see that message sooner than any message on here - joshuamcdonaldd

Music, Movies, and Books
I have an extensive record collection, mostly 80s folk/rock and jazz and blues. Love modern folk music too. Good Will Hunting and Almost Famous and among my favourite films . And I have too many favourite books to list, which also means I have a decent library you can pinch books from.
