Hey. Im James from New Zealand.
Fresh from backpacking throughout Europe for the last 3 months solo. Enjoying life exploring the world after working my ass off for the past few years.
Im a fairly laid back dude with a good sense of humor.
Scored a dutch working holiday visa and now Im back on the job hunt. Back home I was an arborist ( working with trees )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool local people from the places I travel through just to add a bit more to the experince of traveling . I don't want to travel to new places to always only meet foreign backpackers at hostels.

Interests

Have been a mad surf pirate the last 12 years. Although there's not much of that here in northern Europe haha. Good at growing plants of all kinds, used to have a giant cactus collection but sold it to go travelling.
Fishing, camping, tramping, staring into the flames of a big bonfire. I really enjoy the outdoors but I suppose growing up in NZ kinda does that to you...

Music, Movies, and Books

I go to alot of trance music festivals but thats the tip of the iceburg.
Any music that sets the mood is good so I have a fairly broad taste in music.
I used to play the guitar but I was shit haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
