Hello :)

My name is Josephine, or you can call me Jo/Josie.
I am a recent graduate from university and now a gallery supervisor at YellowKorner. Photography is my biggest obsession in life and my attitude is always 'about the eye not the gear'. You can see my photos on Instagram here:

People always see me as shy and introverted - and I think I am - because all my interests and hobbies do not require me to talk: movies, books, painting, photography, and that is exactly why I like to travel by myself, because as introverted as I might seem, I love to experience different cultures and exchange cultural ideas with people from all over the world. And travelling alone has allowed me to do that :)

I hope to see you at some point of my journey, dont forget to say hi!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be travelling to Eastern Europe in January 2015... and it is actually my first time to Europe! That's why I would love to meet new people and get to know more about the cultures & customs of the country when I am there, and I think couchsurfing is the best way for me to do so :)

Interests

PHOTOGRAPHY - because I am not really good at expressing myself verbally, and photography has always been my way to tell the world about myself and my thoughts :) I mostly do film& digital, but I love to try all kinds of photography if I have the chance!
I am also a movie fanatic, and I cook/paint/read when I have time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled alone for a month across United States in 2012, from South Carolina to Georgia, and then all the way to California and finally stopped at Hawaii, it was my biggest self-retreat and I have come to know more about myself throughout the trip.

I also kissed a dolphin in Miami, swan with a sea turtle in Hawaii, and sky-dived in Las Vegas.. I am an adventurous girl :)
