Hi, I'm James, I'm a Filmmaker/Musician/Traveler and Photographer (more as hobby but I have sold my work to some fashion brands) I make my living as a video producer.

My latest film is about a sailing adventure across the Greek islands on a boat called Grateful. My other latest film was about refugees fleeing the war in Syria and it's called "Dreams at Sea." I love making music, telling stories, listening to others stories and wandering around in new places with my drone. I also love to cook and learn how to make new dishes. In the few couple years i have travelled to Colombia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Croatia, Valencia, Malaga, Barcelona, the Canary Islands, Morocco, Colorado, Hawaii, Mexico, Porto, Geres National Park, Riga, Tallinn, Berlin and now currently in Lisbon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to surfing couches but i used to be a host for many years in Aspen, Colorado. That's where i lived in a small cabin the woods. I would take guests on my snowmobile through deep snow to the cabin. It was amazing to meet people from around the world and show them the best part of the glamourous town of Aspen, the Nature! I hosted folks from Australia, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, Europe, Southeast Asia, etc. Now i am on a long 4 years travelling with no home-base, so it's my turn to take advantage of the surfing!
