Hi! I'm James.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and meet new people! Travelling has always been one of my dreams, and this seems to be one of the most authentic ways to do it! I'm looking forward to immersing myself in other cultures, and also hosting others who want to visit my city :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is probably Ender's game, it's so evocative and yet masterfully written, leaving so much to the imagination.

Favourite movie is tough... I don't often rewatch movies much, I like both mindless kill fests, and emotional dramas, and comedies... I'm discerning like that...

Favourite bands: The XX, Alt J, Asgeir, 21 Pilots, Daft Punk, Lions Head, Sub Focus, Bears Den, Jack Garrett, Dotan, Chet Faker, and many many more.

Favourite movie soundtracks: Suicide Squad, Lord of the Rings, Guardians of the Galaxy, Tron Legacy, The Boat that Rocked

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro for the charity 'Dig Deep', which provides clean water and sanitation for families and communities in Kenya. I think I am still processing the views and things I experienced up there!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good fun, a sense of humour. My faith. My experiences living up in the Yorkshire Dales.
...And probably some fine craft ales :)
