"A new friend is a new universe" Paulo Coelho I'm James, a carpenter from Toronto... I am escaping the frigid winter once again. I just finished driving through southern Africa for 10 weeks: from cape town through Johannesburg to zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi... Now I'm recovering in Beirut staying with friends... Africa was hard on my body but good to my soul. I'm not sure where I'm going from here but for now I'm just relaxing mostly.... I'm always excited to meet new people and explore new areas so please don't be shy.

Taught English in a refugee camp in Beirut.
