ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm James. Aspiring screenwriter and current Linguistics student. I'm a big fan of most things lingual and constantly on the lookout for new ideas that I can write about.

I'm not so big on writing descriptions of myself, but for Cartesian proof of my existence, have a look here:

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life. Respect people and the planet. Why compete when you can cooperate?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and, hopefully, travelling.

Currently living with my parents, which means hosting's a bit unlikely unless you look especially trustworthy. I start the final year of my degree in September though - and I'll be living with a couchsurfer, so we're hoping to host as many as we can then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

I've done a good amount of WWOOFing though, having travelled up the coast of New South Wales that way. Stayed in a church, a derailed train, a mudhut and a house which had been ransacked by crystal meth-addicts. It's a brilliant way of seeing a country and very similar to couchsurfing, so I assume this will be equally great.

Interests

Loads of stuff, really. Filmmaking, screenwriting, general conversation.

I was raised on a farm, so I still have something of a fondness for working outdoors. Very big on nature too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quite a few, just trying to think of the best...

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach English, Maths and Chemistry - so I'm happy to help with any of them.

I'd also like to think I'm pretty skilled practically. I helped renovate and partly build a house with my Dad during my year out.
