About Me

Hey there! I’m James — a big-hearted wanderer with a backpack, a camera, and one wildly ambitious goal: to travel around the entire world relying only on the kindness of strangers. Yep, no money for transport, food, or accommodation — just good vibes, open hearts, and a whole lot of trust in humanity 🌍💫

I’m currently filming a YouTube challenge where I document this journey — the highs, the lows, the laughs, and the incredible people I meet (maybe even you?). It’s part social experiment, part personal mission, and 100% fueled by human connection.

I believe the world is full of generous souls and untold stories — and I want to share those stories with the world. I’m not just looking for a couch to crash on; I’m hoping for real conversations, shared meals, maybe some local secrets, and definitely a lot of laughs.

If you’re down to be a part of this global adventure (and maybe appear in a YouTube video!), I’d be beyond grateful. Let’s make some memories — and maybe even restore a little faith in humanity together 🫶

What I Can Share

A camera-ready smile 😄

Great convo and real curiosity about your world

Stories from the road (some funny, some weird, all real)

Help with cooking, cleaning, or walking your dog

A shoutout on my channel and hopefully some good karma!

See you soon — somewhere in the world! 🌎✈️✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe in the kindness of strangers and the magic of human connection. I’m currently traveling the world with no money, relying only on the generosity of people I meet — and sharing the journey on YouTube. Couchsurfing isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s a way to meet amazing locals, learn new perspectives, and prove that the world is more good than bad.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lord of the rings is my all time favourite childhood film that I grew up on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always up for learning something new — especially Spanish, which I’d absolutely love to improve while traveling! Whether it’s practicing a few phrases or just picking things up in conversation, I’m eager to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to share a bit of Welsh culture — whether that’s some fun phrases, stories from back home, or just a glimpse into life in Wales (yes, we really do love our sheep 🐑). I can also share travel stories from my journey, help out however I can, and hopefully bring some good vibes to your home!
