Hello! I'm James and I live in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. For the last four years I spent 6 months of the year playing drums on a cruise ship, out of New York City. It's a pretty amazing job. When I get back home, besides petting my two cats for hours (!), I usually find odd jobs including bar tending and/or bar management.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm a Gypsy. I was bit by the wanderlust bug in 2003 when I went to the Grand Canyon for the first time. It's been up (and down😉)hill since then!

Yoga, playing music, traveling, thrift store hunting, working on cars (mainly classics!). I like watching football and hockey.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like any music that pushes boundaries and has passion behind it's creation. I'm currently digging bands that are essentially rock/metal but are atmospheric and usually instrumental. Being a drummer, I'm also a big jazz snob. I also LOVE funk music from the 70s and 80s.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I just got back from 6 weeks in The UK, Ireland and The Faroe islands! The previous year, In Vietnam, I packed my gear and rode across Vietnam for 15 days! Unforgettable!

教，学，和分享

I can show you how to cook chicken perfectly, make the perfect mojito, replace an alternator in your car, play drums and make Vietnamese egg-coffee.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Having bartended for 14 years, I have plenty of stories. I'm a big chatterbox.
