  • Description

    Hi, I'm James.

    Having spent 10 months living and working in an eco-village community in the north of Scotland, I am now traveling to Goa, India.

    I am a professional carpenter and handy man, and I also have experience as a chef and support worker. I am happy to undertake any kind of work, and am just as happy working on my own as I am in a team of people.

    I love being close to nature and enjoy exploring new places. I enjoy cooking for groups, sharing recipes and sharing meals together. I want to perfect my curry skills while in India! I'm a keen guitar player and love jamming with people whenever possibe. I would love to learn more about Yoga and Indian spiritually. I practice transcendental meditation daily, and I am trained in reiki healing techniques.

    Thank you for reading 🙏
