I'm James, from southwest England. I live by the coast in beautiful Torbay, so I love the sea and the beach. My main passion in life is painting, see my page on Facebook- Art by James Derwin. But painting doesn't earn much money, so I teach art or English during the week. I'm a people person, I'm very sociable, i love having a laugh and having a few beers. Also I'm a great cook and really enjoy cooking for people, I can be very inventive. While on holiday I try to see and do as much as possible, I like cultural stuff in the day and then going out partying or dinning at night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet people when I'm on my travels. I don't like being lonely :( and it's always better to share your experiences.
