About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Breathe in; breathe out; repeat, with awareness.

ABOUT ME

Hey, welcome!
I'm James... I am a writer, working on fiction and also writing for a newspaper and an airline magazine.
I am from England but now living in Hong Kong for eight years~ loving it here, it's the best city in the world, with great outdoors and great city life!
The thing is, I don't drink and I'm not really into bars at all. So if you want a couchsurfing drinking buddy I'm probably not your best choice :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never be attached to the fruit of your actions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just a note to say sorry to all the emails I ignored over the Chinese New Year period, I was totally flooded with requests~ if I didn't respond, sorry about that :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far my only couchsurfing experience was a frantic phonecall from a friend who was due to stay on someone's couch in Hong Kong but they had cancelled on her at the last minute... so could she stay with me? Haha. BUt I figured there must also be plenty of good ppl here, and I also thought, since I have a central place and a couch, I should offer it up some time. It's the Christian thing to do, right?

Interests

Writing, yoga, flat fast running along the harbour, trail running, cycling in Sha Tin, walking about the city and malls

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm a professional writer so maybe can help there. And I'm always interested in people, their stories, why they did or do the things they do. I would like to learn more guitar chords if any surfer can teach me that's good. I'm a very slow learner in this respect.
