ABOUT ME

UPDATE: The information below is a little dated but mostly still true. I have moved back to the states and work in Human Rights. A vegan who wants to save the world or die trying.

Hello, my name is Joshua V. Barr. I am from the US, South Carolina is my home state and has some of the best food you could ever eat in your life (but it is bad for you!). I am a lover of music, encountering different cultures/food, and meeting new people. But mainly I just enjoy the company of cool people that you can just sit around and laugh with. There's nothing better than that and music. I'm a lawyer from the US but lately I have been on more of journey to find something more in life. Presently I am a professor at Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia teaching law, marketing, and English classes.

I lived in Cali, Colombia for 2 years (2010-2012). Best experience of my life. Will return soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about happiness, the rest is just details.

Happiness to me is: doing the things I love, around the people I love, in the place I love.

Do the things you enjoy with the people you enjoy being around.

Home is where your friends are.

If you do something just for the money it will come back to bite you in the ass later.

Love life because you only have one life to live!
