Hi there, I'm James, I'm 24 years of age from Australia. I spent 11 months of 2015 traveling overland around India and Asia, in 2017/18 I traveled overland from Hong Kong to Slovenia, crossing through Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Check out my website, 5limjim.com, to see a few things I've been up to over the past year (to be fair I don't update it often).

For the last year, I have been living in Tbilisi, Georgia, working as an English teacher and freelance writer.

Walking across the border from Myanmar to India, something I never thought would be possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got my grasp on the English language to teach (+ limited Kartuli now), I cook a mean carbonara, along with a few travel stories to share. When it comes to learning, I'm up for anything!
