Hi, I’m Joey! I have a background in engineering and software development, but what truly excites me is traveling and meeting new people. I love exploring different cultures, trying local foods, and sharing stories with others. Every place I visit teaches me something new, whether it’s a hidden gem in the city or an unforgettable conversation with a stranger.

I worked as a civil engineer in Australia for two years, designing structures and solving real-world problems. While I enjoyed my work, I’ve always been drawn to technology and innovation, which led me to start learning programming with New York University. The challenge of coding and the endless possibilities in tech excite me, and I’m eager to see where this path takes me.

Travel is a big part of that journey, as it exposes me to new ideas and perspectives. I love meeting people who challenge my thinking and inspire me to aim higher. Who knows? Maybe my next great idea will come from a conversation on the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to experience a new place is through the people who call it home. That’s why I’m on Couchsurfing—not just to find a place to stay, but to connect with locals, exchange ideas, and create meaningful experiences. I enjoy sharing my own travel stories and learning about others’ adventures. Whether it’s hiking in nature, wandering through a bustling city, or simply chatting over coffee, I’m always up for something new.

As a guest, I’m respectful, easygoing, and happy to contribute however I can. I love hearing about local recommendations and am always open to spontaneous plans. Traveling isn’t just about the places—it’s about the people, and I look forward to meeting new friends along the way!
