Hey!! :)

My names Joshua and I'm from Cardiff...

I'm a Sport and Exercise graduate from University of South Wales. After graduating (2015) I got a job working a 9-5, Monday to Friday but soon realised it wasn't for me.

Lifes wayyyyyy too short and the worlds toooo big to not explore!

I decided to save up and sell all my belongings to follow my dream of exploring the world.

I want to experience new things, discover new food, and just meet amazing people!

Feel free to add me on any of the following:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When planning my backpacking trip I could of easily just paid a popular company and let them book everything for me but what fun would of that been?

I want to learn about others, so to stay with locals I'm hoping to experience their way of life, learn about their culture, and share stories and experiences and make friendships all around the world.

Its a known fact there's no one better to tell you stories and show you around than the locals themselves!

Interests

My main passion is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which I have been doing since 2012 and would happily share my very limited knowledge on it with anyone who's interested. I love exploring and discovering new things. Also love cooking and experimenting with food. I'm a huge foodie!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Top movie is a super hard one and impossible to pick just one:

Home Alone, Up, Dumb and Dumber, The Hobbit, 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Harry Potter, are some of my favourite movies.

I like all genres of music and have a vast variety on iTunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure it can be classed as amazing but one of the greatest and proudest moments of my life so far was when I graduated from university.

Oh I once rode a camel through the Sahara Desert which was pretty amazing!!
