Hi, I am Jamie, an accountant living in the Channel Islands who is passionate about travelling and experiencing other cultures. I unfortunately cannot accept guests with my current living arrangements but would very much like to in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to travel in Europe, especially to the Francophone countries to meet local people and improve my French if possible!

Music, Movies, and Books

I mainly like rock, classical, pop music but I'm open to anything that I can enjoy listening to. I particularly like Chopin's piano music. I can also play both piano and violin/fiddle but have had to put these to the side slightly to focus on my many other hobbies!
I am currently reading books on personal development (I recently just finished reading several books on the dangers of too much refined sugar) and french literature such as Camus.
Again, I have been trying to immerse myself in French so the last few films I watched were Three Colours Red and White. I prefer drama films to big action blockbusters in general. Apart from that, it's mostly been TV series. Some I have watched recently and enjoyed include Vikings, 13 reasons, Black Mirror and Game of Thrones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences travelling and knowledge about Scotland's history, culture, politics etc. I also have a keen interest in economics/politics in general if that is something you area also interested in. I am a keen runner so if anyone would like to run or train around wherever you live I am also up for that!
