CURRENT MISSION

Do one thing at a time. Never be a "busy" person.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Joe, a native San Diegan. I love dance, Latin languages/culture, House music and of course travel. I'm a nurse, which I also love, so my favorite thing to do is travel doing community medical work, in Latin America, dancing at night!

I'm generally a really great guy all around, if I may say so myself. I'd go into deeper description, but if you think of all the qualities of a well-rounded person, I have the fair share of them, despite the immodesty of making such a statement ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my destiny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty social with an affinity for just about anything which includes an interesting activity. I love to learn about pretty much everything, no matter how inane, and that includes people. I ask a LOT of questions, which I sometimes fear makes me come off kind of like a nagging mom, but I'm pretty sure other people take it as being a good listener.

Anyway, I am an excellent participator and love to work with people. I am not afraid to lead events or assist heavily in their creation, and am pretty much willing to do anything to make sure things are a great time for everyone. I'm a fairly good time myself, as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Among friends/acquaintances, I've slept on a lot of couches and returned the favor ten times over, although I've never done the formal CouchSurfing.org-type thing. I totally endorse the idea though and hope to contribute to the CS community!
