ATTENTION - DEAN (ACTUAL BETTER LOOKING GUY) IS TEMPORARILY REGAINING CONTROL.

DEAN AND KINNAT ARE VISITING BUDAPEST AND NEED A PLACE TO STAY! WE ARE GRAPHIC ARTISTS INTO PUNKY STUFF AND YAMMY FOOD.

BACK TO JOE'S BIO:

A human child of Mother Earth and Father Sky.

I like to create goodness and experience beauty.

By that I mean I'm full-time traveling the world (9 months so far) and it is an absolute pleasure.

I immerse myself in new cultures, talk to strangers like they are my friends, always look for an opportunity for adventure or a picnic.

I read old books, listen to contemporary music, drink cheap red wine, tell enthusiastic stories, visit art galleries, watch live music, discuss Life (philosophy, psychology, biology), give great massages, cook tasty/healthy/cheap food (usually with wine and music), and I would love to watch some art house / independent films though I haven't seen any in some time now.

**This profile used to be shared between myself (Joe / Joseph / Frank ) and my best friend (Dean / Nick). The profile photos are of us both in many years of adventures we've had together, I like it that way so I'll keep it but upload one of just myself so it's clear which one I am. (Hint: The better looking one)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a beautiful system Couchsurfing. Give and receive; for the joy of each respectively.

Mainly my best friend and I have hosted people, in our home town and also during our travels in Istanbul. And it brought amazing people and interesting experiences and some life-long friends from all over the world to our living room.

I'd like come into someones life and be part of a positive experience. I'll try my best ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit our jobs to go travelling.

Trained under a champion muay thai fighter in an intense regime for two weeks.

Somehow survived a night completely on our own in the middle of the desert in Iran.

Managed to stay friends with this idiot for 13 years.
