About Me

Firstly I just love people, all types, all cultures, all with their own stories and dreams... :)
I lived in America working on kids camps with disadvantaged street kids, traveled around and lived in Canada, the french alps (snowboarding and instructing) Greece (running a bar and being a beach bum) and made a long trip around Asia (Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia) Amazing trip, bought a motorbike and just took off :)
Recently I built a tiny home / camper and drove around Ireland surfing, and going on Ayahuasca retreats

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To enjoy life, people and different cultures...

I have traveled and lived in many places around the world, and so many times when i was in need, someone came forward and offered me a place to stay, a free meal, a job, and some words of wisdom... When i travel i live open like the Celestine Prophecy, open to coincidence and energy, and it did me good...

So now i pay it forward, I've lived in many places, and given my sofa to many people (on occasions i've taken the sofa and gave the bed) especially the days in cold scotland.
I've given my home when i was away, and i've called friends and helped people when they needed it the most...
And what I give, i always recieve 100 times more.
Simple letters of thanks. Conversations that inspire me. yummy food. Nights drinking whisky and laughing with surfers in Scotland. Days teaching snowboarding in the alps.
I enjoy being around good people with good energy, couch surfing has shown me through experience that this is the best place to find you guys...

Climbing in the white mountains of maine (america)
sunsets on the islands of thailand and cambodia.
an abused child who after four weeks of silence on my programme, finally one day said "jamie this class sucks"! it was her way of letting me know she finally trusted an adult again. it was funny that she told me my course sucked though! lol
the highlands of scotland, edinburgh castle and royal mile.
