James Drury

  • My name is James Drury
  • I’m from Essex, England
  • I graduated with a degree in International Relations
  • This is my second year on staff at Falling Creek (’24-’25)
  • I’ll be teaching backpacking
  • If I hosted a late night talk show, my first guest would be Toussaint Louverture, the father of Haiti. A man born into slavery who led his country and people on the path to freedom. He lived a life worthy of legend and more people should know his name.
  • If i could live anyhwere in the world for a year I would move to Pakistan. My mother is from Pakistan and I have never been. It has always been my dream to go and explore its vast mountains and ancient cities. Living there would allow me to absorb the culture and learn Urdu! (the language)
  • My favorite way to get in some exercise? There is no full-body workout quite like a whole day outside working in the garden!
