CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to make decisions. I guess.

ABOUT ME

Oh hey. I'm James.

Now, you may be thinking, "What exactly IS a James?"

WELL. In my personal experience, the James is a fun-loving, adventurous, quirky, slightly unusual creature. The James tends to be friendly and humorous, and can often be found day-dreaming. Just as a warning; the James is known to erupt in a fit of spontaneous dance moves.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately, this often results in me trying to communicate via. facial expression, hand gesture and/or a series of odd noises.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently on a South-Pacific travelling extravaganza, which started at the beginning of 2013, with my best friend David.

My first couch surfing experiences were in Sydney, AUS; the first destination in said extravaganza.

I have also helped David with entertaining guests in Yellowknife.

I am hoping to start hosting once I am settled back in Edmonton.

Interests

Some of my passions in life (in no particular order):

Theatre - Acting, Singing, Dancing and the Theatre in general. I've discovered my love for these things within the past 5 years, but I have such a strong connection to them that I've decided to pursue them as a career.

Music - I love making and listening to music. Music is a part of my daily life. It's a little known fact, but my left leg is actually made out of pure, concentrated music. True story. Oh, and I like to think I can play a guitar to some extent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free fell from a 109m high cliff in Queenstown, NZ.
HOLY POOPS.

Okay, I was attached to a swing, but still AA-MAY-ZING.
