About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently Travelling for a solid year.

ABOUT ME
Hello, My name is James and I am simultaneously honoured and humbled to be able to be an active participant of Couchsurfing. There are few things better than giving a glimpse of your world to a stranger from a foreign land.

I enjoy diving in to conversation, adventuring, and doing musical activities.

PHILOSOPHY

Just say "yes".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experiences on both ends of the couchsurfing exchange have been, without exception, wonderful.
I would love to host you here in Vancouver until my next trip, when I may be knocking on your door!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Honolulu, and Mexico City. I've hosted in Kelowna and Vancouver.

Interests

Minds, like parachutes, work best open. I am interested in new experiences, new cultures, new languages, new ways of being, and new friends!
Our household is very musical, and we embrace art of every variety.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan movies. I like a lot of different types of music, but mostly rock. Especially 90´s. I like Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Volbeat, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, and Matthew Good Band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The greatest thing I've experienced in life is gratitude, and a large part of that gratitude is directed at those who have lain bounties of generosity at my feet via couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Each person is my superior in at least one aspect. I'm sure we can teach each other a great many things that we might not expect.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My tiny Mexican guitar.
