CURRENT MISSION

Travel and learn more about life and myself.
I am also a professional photographer and willing to trade photography for a place to stay.

ABOUT ME

I am 32 years old and quit my career back in March 2013 to travel and experience more in life. I am currently traveling with my girlfriend who is 25 years old and a complete sweetheart! I have always strived to do amazing things and I want to take that further. My passion in life has always been photography and I love creating images and sharing with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Fear is very powerful. It controlled me for a long time. Fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear of failure. I still struggle with it, everyone does to an extent, but I have quit my career and I am ready to face it head on

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Maui, myself and my roommates hosted a bunch of 'surfers'! I had a great time hosting in our house and showing 'surfers' around the island. I made friendships that last to this day! This is my personal profile and here is a link to the profile with us of us. https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/jcoffey/ You can read some feedback there. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot of cool stuff and I hope to expand this list...
Swam with sharks (outside the cage) a few times, swam with whales, hiked the iconic Na Pali Coast of Kauai, Scuba dove amongst ship wrecks and beautiful corals, kayaked under ice bergs in a glacial lake, and rode my motorcycle from Alaska to Arizona.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people what I know about photography and image editing. I have actually taught some classes on the subjects. I am always looking to learn a new skill, activity, or even a card game! ;) Teach me something!
