Hey there I'm James! I'm half Australian, half South African and grew up mostly in Dubai and Perth, Australia. I love to travel and experience new things, whether that is white water kayaking in New Zealand or exploring old neighbourhoods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting to meet new people from all over the place! One thing that I do love doing is talking to people from all walks of life, no matter if they're from the same culture as mine or not. I feel that learning different perspectives and opinions is really interesting and is a good way to learn about the world. I feel that couchsurfing is a great way to do this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 my family and I took a year off school and work and lived on a yacht. We sailed through the Indian Ocean and backpacked through Eastern Africa, it was the best experience of my life!
