CURRENT MISSION

A Great Adventure Or Nothing At All

ABOUT ME

My name is James. I'm 34, from a small town called San Luis Obispo, Ca. I spent a few years traveling in Europe when I was in my late 20's and was introduced to couchsurfing along the way. Now I run a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a deli. I have an open couch most of the time and would love to host!

PHILOSOPHY

life is short and goes by fast...make your story a good one..at the end of our lives it's all we'll have.

Books on mafia dudes, history, and serial killers are also super interesting. Aristotle, Aquinas, Locke, Nietzsche, and Russell are always good for sharpening up the wits a bit.
