I'm Joseph, 29, and live in Manchester, UK. Im about to take a trip from Switzerland to Sweden by train, visiting friends and cool spots along the way. I recently finished a 7 month trip from Portugal to India, overland, sailing, and flying. This was the most fulfilling and hardest experience I have ever taken on.

I was a professional chef for 8 years, working in fine dining restaurants in Manchester. My path has taken a turn into education and starting my own business.

I'm also planning to start my own eco village in the future. This is one of the main reasons I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because its a great way to meet people and delve into the local culture, that wouldn't have been as accessible otherwise!
