About Me

Grew up in Olympia, Washington, and got a BFA in Contemporary Dance Studies at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. My interests vary obsessively from linguistics, poetry, dance, photography, food culture, beer, and many more. Lots of things continuously keeping my mind busy and that I love to dialogue about. Love experiencing new cultures and hanging out with new people, but am also comfortable being on my own as well. Very easygoing but also adventurous kind of guy. https://www.instagram.com/josiah.in.drift/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've discovered that the best part of traveling is the people you meet and experience new cultures with. Couchsurfing is a great way to allow this to happen!

Interests

I love traveling, experiencing new places and meeting the people within it. I enjoy dancing and exchanging ideas about art and life. I mostly follow a plant based diet and greatly enjoy exploring local plant based food scenes and trying lots of different beers while I'm at it! Reading, philosophizing, moving the body, going on long walks of exploration, getting up early to watch the sunrise! Also enjoy cooking!
