Hello, I'm Joe. Im just trying to live and experience as much of this life as I can before its over. I think I'm a decent human being, and I think it's a pretty easy thing to do; just don't be an asshole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of people being able to take hospitality into their own hands and invite people into their homes so that they have a place to stay for the night, To me, it's a more genuine experience than even the most expensive hotel can offer.

Interests

Food is, I think, the greatest thing ever. It's what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. A good meal brings people together, everybody can relate to it, and everyone has their favourite food, and memorable meals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time at work, my mate was reaching for a some bowls from the top shelf in our kitchen and accidentally dropped one. I had my back turned to him and, in one smooth, swift motion, I turned around and caught it. With one hand. Just before it hit the floor. My greatest accomplishment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, and I have at least one coin trick I can show you.
