I'm Josh (far right in profile picture) but most people call me Shwa. I am a professional magician and aspiring political scientist. I love politics, religion (I am a devout Christian, but I enjoy learning about others), magic, acting, and traveling. I don't host because I don't have a place of my own yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel anywhere I can, and as often as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music (although my favorites are generally Country and 70's era Rock like Queen)
I am super into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Expanded Universe (Sony, Fox) I also love dramas, action, thrillers, pretty much anything except horror, which I find intensely boring and incredibly predictable.
As for books, I enjoy a good novel, but most read non-fiction. My favorite books right now are 'Extreme Ownership' By Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, 'Basic Economics' By Thomas Sowell, and 'Economic Facts and Fallacies' By Thomas Sowell

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed magic for an audience of nearly 2000 people!

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what to put here so here's my favorite quote I guess.
“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” - Benjamin Mee (We Bought a Zoo)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can always entertain them, and I'm a great conversationalist and debater.
