About Me

My name is James and don't worry about the boring looking Facebook. I've got another, better one under an assumed name that I'll add you too whenever we actually hook up. Looking to meet like-minded party people to engage in local activism, partying and pure winging it!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looks like a cracking way to meet peeps while on the road!! Also will be hosting once I have resident digs with at least a genuine couch/bed lol!!

Interests

Travelling. Partying. Sustainability of human race through further integration and political evolution, land and wealth redistribution. Also quite like the sea, nature in general, camping outdoors, festivals, free parties and general gatherings of free-spirited individuals.

Love rock, ska, reggae, dance/rave, hip hop, country, punk, electro-swing and classical. Oh yeah and everything in between 😉. Movies = gangster classics always best, i.e. Scarface, Goodfellas and comedies, musical biopics, weird indie films and the Blues Brothers...... Books... love em, all of them, Orwell, Bukowski, Burroughs, Tom Sharpe, Irvine Welsh, Robert Harris etc etc haha too many to list!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Possibly this next holiday.... one month in Portugal going solo with variable finances and no clear plan. Couldn't think of a better way of spending December/Jan.... excitement, exploration, enthusiasm.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - English, oral or written. 20th-Century alternative history. Adept at card/board games, i.e. Poker, Cribbage, Backgammon, Chess.
