James from Australia here. I love films, scuba diving and my favourite animals are sharks and pugs (I hope never together).

Be kind and adore nature.

I am an avid believer of embracing new experiences and breaking through ones comfort zone - as well as helping and encouraging others to do so. This does not necessarily mean forcing someone into sky diving or swimming with sharks, but understanding and exploring everyones relative zones!

I need more yoga in my life.

I am currently a student at the London Film School. I adore cinema - lets share our favourites (and least favourite!)

I have just purchased a yashica FX-3 and am falling in love with stills photography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Volcano Acatenango in Antigua, Guatemala (see profile pic) for the most incredible sunrise I have ever witnessed!

Survived Mexican machetes and assailants wearing pig masks ...but hey it was character building. Ask me for the full story!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have travelled through Central America for two months, Russia for one month, as well as Estonia and Latvia plus I have lived in both Paris and London - I want to share my stories and as an aspiring filmmaker absorb and experiences as many hidden and untold stories from people around the world as possible.
