Hi my name is James,

I'm from the United States initially, and now I live in Odessa, Ukraine. I love traveling around the world and meeting new people in the process. I moved to Ukraine back in July to teach English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, and I like the purpose of this website. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I recently went on a holiday over to Switzerland for about ten days. I spent time over in Lucerne, Huttwil, Geneva, Lausanne, and Grindelwald. One of the biggest takeaways from my trip is how nice the Swiss people are and willing to sacrifice their time to show me around. I’ll want to go back to Switzerland and meet new people and build long-lasting friendships (: Also, I would love to start learning Swiss German! Maybe you can be that person to help me learn (:
