Hi, I am Joshua, 26. Here I am on the beach. I love the beach, even during the winter! Obviously, I don’t want to jump in the water and go swimming, It’s just always nice to be on the beach.
Being here reminds me of my family in Brazil. I love them very much! My brother loves going to the beach too but I don’t think he likes the cold. I miss him a lot and I’m sure he misses me too!
I really like to ride my bike on the weekends here. When I’m not out, watching movies is a great option. I love watching series.
I want a partner who wants to do these things with me. Is it you?
