My wife, Francesca Friesen, and I are animal lovers with a mission to travel the world and explore all that nature has to offer. We currently live by the ocean with the forest in our backyard and the Rocky Mountains off in the distance.

We spend lots of time with our two rescue pups and make regular youtube videos about our daily life, travel and food. We are passionate about this world and all who live in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are excited to connect with people at home and abroad. We'd love to share our home and show people the beauty of pacific north west and this incredible island we live on, and also discover new places in the world with the people who live in them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Josh - studied at the international space university in France
Francesca - quit a well paying corporate job in downtown Vancouver, sold everything and bought a one-way ticket to Cambodia (without Josh)
Both of us - have driven across Canada (3 times!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing cooking with plant based ingredients. An open mind. Philosophical and spiritual conversation. Beautiful music, if you have a guitar. Vlogging, if you're interested. Love to your pets and a sneaky way to fold a fitted sheet.
