Hi I'm Josh Lu, 23, M, just graduated at UC Riverside studying Creative Writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling! I also love adventures, variety, and friendly thoughtful people. Meeting new interesting people and gaining knowledge and experience from them is so profound and fascinating, especially with the CS community (I'm still a newbie)

Interests

Traveling, camping, meditation, hiking, reading, personal growth, writing, discussing life, living live, thinking, journaling, reflecting, teaching, coaching, mentoring, art, meeting new people, stimulating conversations, and photography. I also appreciate good music and food! Love anything that has to do with creativity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled Europe with my little brother for 18 days by ourselves which was awesome.

Attended three 10 Day silent meditation retreats! (Vipassana Meditation)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've read a lot of books on psychology, philosophy, mental health, human development, productivity, and business-type books. I'm constantly realizing that the more I find out, the more I realize that I don't know anything?! It makes learning exciting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share great conversations and awesome gifts. I can do a black and white portrait session for you!
