Hi I am James from Somerset, Uk. I am married to a lovely Japanese lady and run a stove company. My passion is to travel and meet people. I have been doing this for many years now and have visited 129 countries. I love to travel like a local and meet local people. I am honest and reliable and respectful of local traditions and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet real people from all different cultures and backgrounds. I want to make long term friends around the world.
