Hello! My name is James. I'm super friendly, outgoing, fun, and I love meeting new people. This last year has been a busy one. It's been filled with adventures like motorbiking through Vietnam, teaching English in Thailand, studying yoga in India, building a school in Nepal, exploring Indonesian islands and basically living from day to day.

That is coming to an end soon, but not yet! I'm super excited for this next journey in NY on my way home to Seattle! I'm hoping to meet some cool people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard that this is the only way to travel through the US. Super excited to meet some cool people and see New York! I can't wait til I get settled in at home so I can also host surfers!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- anything that helps create internal growth.
Movies- I love true gangster movies like Casino.
Music- I've been stuck on 90's rap since the 90's but I also love stuff like Nat King Cole or Regina Spector.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching English in Thailand was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's talk, I believe that we have all the answers that we are looking for inside of us. Lots of times it just takes talking with the right person to get access to those answers. Teaching, learning and sharing are done most effectively just by being open to cool conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cool stories, fun times and laughter are my currency at the moment. Also cookies, everyone loves cookies.....
