Howdy! I’m James, I’m from Australian and am currently cycling around Europe. While I have backpacked a lot, this is my first time doing an international bicycle tour and I have completely fallen in love with it! The constant engagement with one’s environment and the work you put in to get from A to B is super grounding and fun. I have travel mostly in Eastern Europe and Asia, and lived in Tbilisi, Georgia for nearly 3 years.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Well first I heard such incredible stories about Couchsurfing and now I have made my own! I love sharing connections with people and I've found the best kind of people on couchsurfing, open, kind and honest.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music; Bon Iver, Tame Impala, Earl/Frank/Tyler, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bombay Bicycle Club etc etc. Movies; Garden State, anything by Kubrick, Anderson, Nolan, Herzog... Books; Vonnegut, Murakami, Winton, Sedaris to name a few, Overstory by Richard Powers is a recent favourite of mine.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Walking across the border from Myanmar to India.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've got my grasp on the English language to teach (+ limited Kartuli now), I cook a mean carbonara, along with a few travel stories to share. When it comes to learning, I'm up for anything!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Cooking, cleaning, any chores that need doing, I'm pretty flexible!
My Interests
My first love is travel, I love to write, to socialize and have a chat over drinks about pretty much any topic.
