CURRENT MISSION

Save like crazy, travel like mad....

ABOUT ME

I guess I am just James. Love to travel, like international people and enjoy socialising.

My parents and brothers are farmers, I guess I am the black sheep as I work in the oil and gas industry in Scotland as a Mechanical Engineer. Studied in Glasgow at strathclyde, done an exchange year in Singapore, moved to Aberdeen on graduating. Lived there 5 yrs then wrangled a job back in Glasgow.
