Hi there,

My name is James. My current situation is; I am setting up a graphic design business called Hart in Art, which my prime aim is allowing me to have flexible income so I can visit some different places. A long with it being a creative outlet for me!

I also love music, and if forced to, I guess I'd class myself as a musician. I play a lot of instruments, but am yet to master one:P
I enjoy writing my own music, lyrics and sometimes rap. Another reason I have set up my business is to give me the freedom to concentrate better on my passion, which is music (music music music.. Aha)

In my down time, I love to walk. Especially in the morning, catching sunrise if I can.
I enjoy most sports, so I guess I am a fairly active person.
I also like to slob out in front of the tele when necessary, I am always striving for balance.. This also goes for food. I eat quite well and enjoy to cook my own food, but sometimes I realise chocolate is the only answer to certain moods:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe if there is a chance to stay with someone who is willing to open up their home to a person, then this is a beautiful experience I am grateful for having.

I am also here, because, with setting up a design business, I am constantly looking for inspiration.. And where possible, the chance to inspire others. So I guess I am looking for a nice space to assist with this, and like minded people to make this a reality for me.

I also am aiming to be in Italy for early Febuary, again this is for a music related commitment.. I have no plans in between this time.. So I only have the aim to create some friends and nice memories along the way:) and to see some nice places!

Travelling from North, to South, to overseas:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really do enjoy all music, from your calming classical to your Gangsta Rap! Ha

Again, I'm quite open when it comes to my media, I love movies when I get the chance. Or more recently watching them in parts!
I love a good comedy, it's good to laugh!

I'll be honest, I don't read so much. But when I do, it's usually because someone has inspired me, or for more educational purposes..
I am reading Inner Engineering by Sadhguru atm (in parts obviously..)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 6 months in India this year. This has been the greatest experience of my life and I am still learning from this..

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to educate people where I can and where it is wanted.
I guess I can share my approach to music and life.
I have many fundamental skills, but I think these are best discovered and shared at the time? I can cook fairly well, but my style is usually experimenting depending on the ingredients to hand, possibly a handy skill to have? Ha
Please ask me if you have a current goal you would like some insight on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything I hope. I'm not a man of possessions, I'm all about the human experience. I come from a big family, so it's in my nature to share.
I'm not so sure about my chocolate.. But I can always spare a piece aha!
