About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to count backwards from 100 by sixes

ABOUT ME

My name's James. I'm an 18 year old Australian just out of high school. I live in Melbourne; the best city on this planet however i wouldn't mind having my opinion challenged.

PHILOSOPHY

live like ur gonna die. well actually, it's william shatner's philosophy but iv adopted it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

at the moment, i travel the world, meeting wonderful, local people and share many good and interesting times with them. however, i cant wait to get back home to australia and start bringing the world to me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

many, im glad to say! and all of them have been enjoyable. i havent tried hosting yet, im still travelling myself, but i think hosting different people will be a way to keep travelling without actually going anywhere.

Interests

I enjoy music (listening/playing), live bands, learning new things, languages, reading, being creative (when i have time), keeping fit, sports, a few quiet drinks at the pub, friendly people, travelling... all of the above
