About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world 🌍 hear the stories.

ABOUT ME

Hello,

My names James, utterly useless at filling in these things but i'll try: I am fairly chilled out person, I enjoy meeting different people from all walks of the planet, I seem to bond with many different types of people, I enjoy hearing about peoples different lifestyles and stories.
I love nothing more stepping off a plane in a new country breathing in new cultures and always trying to experience a country like a local and not a tourist 😊

Bit of an advocate when it comes to the environment, peace & civil liberties particularly in parts of the world struggling with basic human and LGBT rights.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Don't complain, don't be fake, try not to be patronising or sarcastic and try new things. Don't assume you know everything or that you're the smartest person in the room. When you feel looped, break it. Eradicate hate and build tolerance, compassion and understanding, and hopefully we won't end up killing each other in the tens of millions again like our grandparents. And have a laugh!
