Hi, I'm Joe! Originally from Ecuador, I've been living in Guangzhou, China for the past 6 years. Before that, I had the chance to live in Italy and the U.S. because of my work in the hotel industry.

I'm passionate about sports like football, F1 racing, and swimming. I'm always up for trying new things, especially when it comes to food! I love exploring different cuisines and enjoy both coffee and craft beer.

I also have a deep love for the beach and sunshine—The Philippines is one of my favorite places for this!
Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers and sharing experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and when I stay in a new city, I enjoy meeting people who are from the area. It's always interesting to learn about their culture, and hopefully, I can pick up some of their language too.

On the other hand, I also love meeting fellow travelers and sharing our travel experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish and Italian, and even show you how to make some Ecuadorian and Italian dishes. I’d love to learn everything about your culture—food, language, history! We can share meals, and I’m always up for trying new flavors or dishes.

Plus, while you're in China, I can introduce you to a bit of Chinese culture and cuisine!
