About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the beauty this world offers

ABOUT ME

Hello. I am Joe and I am free. I love it. I am self-employed enough to survive and I have no restraints. I am a freelance writer, yoga teacher and farmer traveling the world as much as I can. I enjoy yoga, writing, disc golf, paintball, reading (especially comics), sleeping, and a relaxing conversation. And of course traveling. Check out my travels at joejoeonthego.com. Peace.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice. Be happy. Be positive. And good things will come.

I feel experiencing life is essential to understanding it. I travel to learn other cultures, discover new places, gather more knowledge, and make new friends.
