Hello!

My name is James and I am from the United States! I just graduated from my undergrad and I am now studying Software Engineering in Amsterdam, NL.

I love moving my body, nature, meeting people, and experiencing new things.

I previously used my partners account so I have no references on here, so here is my instagram to check me out: Jbush.11

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfer and WarmShowers for the first time while traveling summer 2024 and fell in love with the community, generosity, and adventure that came with it. It is an incredible opportunity to meet people and keep yourself open to new perspectives, cultures, and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Zach Bryan, mkgee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bike toured through Portugal, Spain, and France for 3 months with my loving partner. I learned so much about the land we passed, the many different cultures present, and about how to be a loving partner.

Traveling by bike offered many challenges but also a unique opportunity to experience things slowly, meet amazing people, and learn how to manage difficult times and a relationship in positive way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fairly knowledgeable in programming and software things.
I know a lot about exercise and nutrition, specifically lifting
I know how to solve a rubix cube and can teach you because its much easier than it seems

I love challenging conversations so I can try my best to provide a topic or perspective that makes you think.
