CURRENT MISSION

To have a damn good time.

ABOUT ME

I'm Josh, and about me changes quite frequently.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because the alternative is highly unappealing. I do my best to see people as people, which is sometimes hard. I trust people, and I believe that no matter of the past or even nature, our choices are what define us and I measure people based on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to see a change in how scared everyone is--it's depressing and disgusting to see what a state of fear everything has devolved to. I would like to see people begin to have the faith to put trust in complete strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used it in Europe, but I'm pretty new to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Malaysia? I dunno. I get a kick out of everyday things as much as I do from amazing ones.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my interest in books, movies, music, and of cooking. I can share conversation, which to me is the best way to spend time.
