Hello! I'm James/Jamie, whichever you prefer! I'm a gay male currently living in just outside of Oxford however have lived in all over the UK and Tanzania. My insta is @alternativebanana - it sounds a bit dodge but it's a university joke from a decade ago and alas, I can't change it 😂 I'm about to start my career in law, however I've had a varied career running pubs and working in real estate, working with international charities, banking, hairdressing/barbering and even a shifting a few hundred Christmas trees! When I haven't been doing that I've been travelling around the UK, and abroad when I can. I'm very much the kind of person that works to live and to experience as many things as I can. I've met some of the most loveliest people just by starting a random conversation in places that I've travelled to and as a result have friends all around the world now, and hopefully you'll be one of them too! As a guest Im very sociable, tidy and respectful - your castle, your rules. I can occasionally host, so just ping me a message and I'll see what I can do. If not I'm always up for hanging out as well. Looking forward to hearing from you :)
