Hi! My name is James and I am just starting out on my Couchsurfing adventures having had it recommended to me by a friend.

I'm always interested in experiencing new things and different cultures with a big curiosity to learn all there is to the world as well as seeing all the amazingly beautiful countries.

I have a big interest in ultra running and there isn't a weekend where I won't be running somewhere in the countryside!

I am laid back, straight talking and easy going. There isn't much that stresses me out.

All I ask for in other people is loyalty and to be genuine.

I am very selective with who I let into my life so as long as you match those qualities then I can guarantee an incredible experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other people from different cultures and to have more experiences that will broaden my horizon and to hopefully share the journey with others.

I am a strong believer in making real connections with people as we have now been lost to the social media world with smart phones and other things that consume people.

Also, I live in a very boring town!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently set a Guinness World Record for the fastest half marathon for a 5 person fancy dress! We were a Chinese dragon!

Before that, I was in the elite wave for the Manchester 10k alongside two time Olympic gold medalists having only been running for less than a year!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lame jokes, enthralling stories, a child like curiosity, pointless facts, and lots of running medals!
