CURRENT MISSION

to be a filmmaker... to take the stories in my head and put them on a screen

ABOUT ME

I'm Joel, my main goal at the moment is to be become a filmmaker. I am extremely into travelling, but more into meeting the people and eating the food than in seeing the sights. I am a pretty good storyteller and have a good sense of humour ( I think).I am also athletic and extremely competitive.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the dream

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch of my own at the moment....but I'm working on it. I live at my parents home, but there is room here for 2 couchsurfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on the streets of australia with no money for six months... The christmas I spent on the streets was the best I've ever had. The people I met (both homeless and not) turned out to be very good friends.
I got naked with 6000 people of shapes, ages and sizes for a Spencer Tunick photograph at and inside the Sydney Opera House.
