CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world & create businesses

ABOUT ME

Like most people on this website, I love to travel and have done a lot of it. Whether its through my previous job, or just for fun, I love to see the world and understand how others see it.

I currently run a startup technology company called CardGnome.com, which does print-on-demand greeting cards. I also write a blog about entrepreneurship (http://joelwish.com/)

PHILOSOPHY

"If it doesn't hurt you, it makes you stronger."

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people, so whether its hosting someone at my house or showing them the town, I love to participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would like to think that I have a lot of friends from my many travels. While I haven't had any couchsurfing.org experiences, I have hosted many people at my house based on personal recommendations and have stayed with people in many cities. Its the best way to travel!
