ABOUT ME

It’s nice to meet everyone. I am Joe. I have great passion to explore fresh places and to learn skills. I am adaptable to any new challenge and open-minded to novel ideas. Moreover, I would like to travel all over the world, experiencing the local culture and pure life. Furthermore, I am happy to make friends, chatting with each other, sharing the story. Let's have a nice time together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that good things always happen to good people, although it's not just so apparent sometimes. Thus, I want to meetup with nearby locals and travelers, discover the best things to do, which is the meaning of couchsurfing.
