Hey, I'm James.

Me and my friend Geoffrey are currently on a jazz road trip around France for 10 days. We come via Paris, Provence, Marseille, Canne and will be heading through Lyon and somewhere else- not yet decided- on the way home.

We are currently looking to connect with people along the eastern side of France. So please do let me know if you'd like to meet :)

THINGS I LIKE:

Following maps, especially old ones.
Attending local sports games.
Getting Lost.
Eating good, cheap food.
Jazz
Drawing
Cooking
Doing Phil Collins drum solos while driving
Pretty much every outdoor sport.
Actually pretty much every sport.
I play football and squash competitively; but every sport in some way shape or form.
Mechanisms.
Cycling everywhere.

My philosophy in life? - Don't be a dick.
