Hey I’m James, a local from Sydney. I’ve lived in 5 countries and travelled widely. Speak English, Mandarin, Japanese and a little Spanish and French.

Love the beach, cafes, camping, snowboarding, hiking in national parks, sports, etc.

I’m a consultant advising companies on Asian market strategies. I work often from home so if I host or meet up, I usually prefer weekends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has been a fun way to have interesting conversations with new friends while hiking, being active in nature, chasing sunsets, swimming at the beach, sightseeing, tasting cocktails, chilling at cafes, etc.

I’ve learned something from everyone I’ve met on Couchsurfing so far and felt more inspired afterwards :)
