Hi, I'm Josh :)

Living and working as a teacher in Perth, Western Australia (hometown).

Loved Couchsurfing when I was living in Queenstown NZ, our house enjoyed hosting guests and had many fun adventures with new people. Moved back home to Perth in 2020 and haven't used Couchsurfing for a while! Decided it's time to shake of the dust of life and hopefully meet some fun new people!

About me:
Studied engineering, worked for a few days as an engineer, and now working as a Teacher; although I wonder if my life would have been better had I been a panda-bear.

I enjoy rock climbing, running, hiking and spending time at the beach and ocean
