CURRENT MISSION

Working my way across the world, drinking coffee and meeting beautiful people.

ABOUT ME

The names James, but you can call me what you like..I'm 25 and I currently live and work in Perth, Western Australia. I'm originally from Sheffield, England.

Flung right out of University, professional employment as a desk monkey 9 - 5, I'm now ready to leave the comfort zone behind (again) and get back out to where I belong, the world.

I've travelled far across the world since I was 5 weeks old. (I blame you for this obsession mum and dad!)

I'm a friendly, kinda sarcy and very upfront guy. Like a drink (or 10), and I fail miserably at photography. (F' off Instagram!)

I currently live in Perth, WA. I can host....

...I'm a gay guy, but not the seedy/weird kind, the nice kind. I get along well with anyone, straight or gay.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in a philosophy. If something don't feel right, make it right. For me, that was leaving the desk job behind and getting right back out into the world.
