Hey, I'm Josh! Right now I'm backpacking around Asia on the trip of a lifetime taking life as it comes and going with the flow :) Just want to meet new people, make new memories and explore the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing better than exploring/experiencing place with the knowledge of a local. Couchsurfing provides the opportunity to get some local insights on the place you're visiting and to really dive into the culture in an un-tainted & touristy way.

Meeting local people is one of the best parts of travelling! I love showing people around my home town in Australia and love that other people are willing to do the same.

(specifically Taiwan) I'm super excited to jump into the Chinese/Taiwanese culture. I didn't actually plan to come here on my Asia trip, but after a few days I am already extremely happy I decided to come and can't wait to explore as much as possible

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked 1.5 hours up an 800m mountain in Myanmar and slept in a monastery with a bunch of monks and the local people. One of the toughest, yet most humbling and eye-opening experiences I've been fortunate enough to have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share laughter, smiles and general conversation about all the places I've been so far, where I'd like to go and so on.
I could talk for hours about almost anything, so I suppose I'd say I provide open ears and some good company.
I also have a passion for learning new things, so anything you'd like to maybe teach me I'll be ready.
