Hi, I’m James. I’m an Australian backpacker and I’ve been living in Europe for the past 1.5 years. I’ve been to 16 countries so far, I’ve lived in London for 7 months working as a hostel receptionist, and I’ve got no plans to stop soon! I love meeting new people and sharing experiences and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to pick and they’re always changing.

Music: Currently I’m listening to a lot of Tool, alternative rock and psychadelic music and I’ve been getting into 90’s hip-hop and neo-soul playlists from Spotify.

Movies: whatever is new on Netflix I guess?

Books: currently reading Sapiens but I love a bunch of different genres and will binge read the shit out of a good novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once patted a cheetah and I still have all my fingers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to give free guitar lessons (I’m no Eric Clapton but I’m okay), help cook, share stories or have deep philosophical conversations, if you’re into that kind of thing.
