About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share our couch to build up enough Karma for couch surfing in Latin America

ABOUT ME

James is originally from London and Louise is from Sydney. We have been travelling and living in different parts of the world together for the past 5 years. We moved to Bangkok in 2009 for work. Louise is a water management professional at the United Nations and James manages a charity youth centre for homeless and disadvantaged kids. In November we travel to Guatemala to study Spanish for two months before heading off on a 12 month Latin American adventure (not sure of the details yet - but it will include a cheeky visit to the Miami Winter Music Week in March and lots of skiing in Argentina...)

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, party when you want to and even when you don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When we lived in Bangkok we hosted surfers whenever we could and have met some amazing people. We are now on the road in Central America and look forward to getting back some of that couchsurfing Karma!

Music, Movies, and Books

Dance Music: Daft Punk not Crazy Frog
Hip-hop: Jurassic 5 not 50 Cent
Rock music: Foster the People not Kings of Leon
Books: Autobiographies, history and fictional thrillers.
Movies: French cinema, comedies, documentaries and anything with a pulse...unless Michael Bay has been involved.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday we thank the internet for the world it has opened up - sneezing pandas on YouTube are just the start of it...

Teach, Learn, Share

James can DJ and Louise can do several back to back Spin classes. We can teach you some essential Thai for travel and have LOTS of music and movies to share.

We'd love to learn Spanish, French, Italian and to learn about the best places to visit in Central and South America.
