About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycle across the planet!!

ABOUT ME

Graduated from uni in 2012 and have been roaming pretty much ever since. I travelled from London to Istanbul by bicycle which was awe inspiring and humbling at the same time. Met the loveliest people and had experiences I shall never forget.

PHILOSOPHY

take it easy, be nice and always carry a lighter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was meeting up with a few folks for a drink in Zagreb Croatia, then when I was in Istanbul I surfed with my first host. The whole experience was lasting and I definitely feel richer for the experience... When I can, I would defo host people in my hometown of London.

Interests

A "James" is a creature that can usually be spotted on a self powered, two wheeled vehicle clutching a guitar in search of a nicely shaded area where he can sit and strum along as life drifts idly by.
Here's a list of a few other things this bizzare mammal enjoys:
making Electronic music, kicking ball, skateboarding (although it's been a while) cooking new foods, hustling the local pool halls, throwing down some serious shapes on the dance floor (as long as the drinks are flowing).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have trained as a music teacher and as a personal trainer... I can bench press whilst humming the harmonic minor scale.

or I could write you a fitness program, offer a couple of PT sessions or teach you how to play a song of your choice on the guitar.
