Join Couchsurfing to see James and Will’s full profile.
Overview
About Me
Hi! We are James and Will, a couple originally from Australia, who have settled in the UK after several years travelling.
We're both engineers, into outdoors, food, motorbikes, wine, music, geeky stuff, mtb, burning man, intelligent conversation, skiing, silliness, dogs, and relaxed open-minded people.

Dont care where your from, your skin colour, who you screw, who/what you worship, what music you like - diversity is always one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of other humans (however if you happen to have blue skin, thats just awesome!)
