Hey, I'm James.

I'm currently in South Africa for the next 3 weeks.

THINGS I LIKE:

Following maps, especially old ones.
Attending local sports games.
Getting Lost.
Eating good, cheap food.
Jazz
Drawing
Cooking
Doing Phil Collins drum solos while driving
Pretty much every outdoor sport.
Actually pretty much every sport.
I play football and squash competitively; but every sport in some way shape or form.
Mechanisms.
Cycling everywhere.

In my day job I design products for Dyson. In my spare time I'm the Head Coach for the University of Bristol's American Football Team.

My philosophy in life? - Don't be a dick.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
