My name's James. I'm 25 years old, and I am becoming an English teacher so I can travel the world and learn new languages! I've been interested in languages and culture since I was a little kid, so I finally found a good fit for a career.

I'm originally from Spokane, Washington, I went to South Carolina for my undergrad to play volleyball, and then I moved toward home to go to Washington State University for grad school.

I love volleyball, cooking, seeing new places - pretty much anything active or novel. Not much of a drinker, but I still go out.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

Traveling is so much better if you do it like a local. I'm looking forward to meeting cool people and doing new things. Hopefully I'll get to know your city how you know it!

I currently live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment in Nanchong, Sichuan, and it is partially furnished. I would absolutely host anyone looking for a place to stay in Nanchong, but I only have a bed in my room. The floors are tile, but I have two thick blankets and a sheet I can give you to stay in the spare room. They specifically don't give us couches in this complex to discourage us from having romantic guests.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

I've gotten more into reading for pleasure lately in my life. I like post-apocalypse-style books, like the Maze Runner series and the Hunger Games.

My favorite show of all time is Alias. I also like Friends, Family Guy, The 100, How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal. I like movies but I don't watch a lot of them. Spy movies are the best!

I have an eclectic music taste. Hip hop, bachata, reggaeton, classical, pop, EDM, trance, trap - whatever.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

For my 25th birthday last March, I went skydiving! It was great, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

People tell me a lot that I have some different perspectives, I have kind of a unique way of thinking. I love learning about other people's lives and cultures - and culture between the regions of the USA are definitely quite different.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

I'll teach whatever I can. I really love to cook, so I can share my knowledge of that. I'm becoming an English teacher, so if anyone wants help with English, I can be your guy. I've had some travel experience and I'd love to talk about travel with my hosts!
