Hi there! I'm James from Melbourne, Australia. I have been editing wikis in some shape or form since 2005, so have a plethora of experience. These wikis range a variety of topics, and I have administrated many of them. I originally joined Wikitravel on 7 May 2012, and whole-heartedly supported the merging of the communities into this great new project: Wikivoyage. I became an administrator on 15 February 2013 and will use these extra tools for the continued improvement and maintenance of the site. Please let me know if you have any specific enquiries and requests.
Being young, I'm still a rookie at travelling, but am inspired to one day go out and see every corner of the globe. Those unique countries off the beaten track often pique my curiosity, such as Togo, Qatar and Iraq. As I have little real-world experience, most of my edits will revolve around organising and re-sorting information, along with contributing to policy and site discussions.
If I do add content, it is usually scavenged off the internet, and will fit into the Understand, Get in/around, See or Do sections. By editing Wikivoyage, I find I learn more about different countries and cultures without even having to go there! A key area of interest is UNESCO World Heritage sites; a goal of mine is to make every article about the sites informative and useful with at least one photo. My primary focusses right now are Qatar, Melbourne and Bangladesh.
