ABOUT ME

I live on the beautiful west coast of Canada on Vancouver Island, BC. I am a very creative person, who loves to laugh, and share good times. I am inspired by nature, and I like to express myself with music, art and soapmaking. I have been sharing my life with my Chilean girlfriend Pamela for the past 6 years, and I am trying to show her a good couchsurfing experience as well! If you would like to hear some of my music, and see some of my art please visit this website: reverbnation.com/joshgellman

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever I do, I try to do it well!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be a good example of Canadians when I visit other countries, and always try to give back a lot when I'm hosted. Whether it be cooking, sharing stories, or my entertainment repertoire, I try to make the most of the experiences, and show my appreciation!

I like to offer a place to stay for travelers to BC. Most people just pass through Nanaimo quickly on their way to Tofino or Victoria, but need to know that we have an amazing natural river to swim in, and numerous beautiful spots. I would be happy to show!!

I also like the feeling of having a friend when I arrive in a place where I have never been before.

Soy un amante de los viajes y de nuestra hermosa tierra. Me interesa intercambiar y compartir culturas, pensamientos, experiencias y definitivamente, la musica!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences with couchsurfing have all been fantastic, and introduced me to amazing people, who I became good friends with instantly! It's really a great thing, and the help of couchsurfing friends has made many of my voyages more enjoyable!!
