Hi there,

My name is James.
I am a Canadian musician, yoga enthusiast and traveller.
I was born in Vancouver, BC and currently have been spending
time in Montreal and London, UK. I lived in California for a few years
with my girlfriend Ezmy and we have been travelling the last 6 months.

I love to read and talk and explore new places, to meet the poems in new places and to make friends of all kinds. You can hear the music that I make at www.myjamesthomas.bandcamp.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met up with my friend Alex recently in Montreal. We were in an Airbnb and he was Couchsurfing. We went to have a hang with his host and it was a terrific evening and I thought it was so cool that people travelled and met in this way. It was a very inspiring experience. Meeting people in their own towns is the best, and it brings a place alive. I hope to be able to host travellers whenever I settle down:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to have conversations about all kinds of things, and to learn about things that I am no good at. I am currently learning to do some simple coding online and it is profound. I am quite right-brained, and I think it is great to learn and discuss all kinds of things.

Happy to teach what yoga and guitar I know:)
