Description
Hi, I'm James.
I am currently travelling around India until the end of August, then to Nepal. I'm looking for placements where my skill can help people the most and get immersed in the local culture along the way!
I am a professional carpenter and I also have experience as a chef and support worker. My primary trade is carpenter and being a handyman. I can do basic plumbing and can turn my hand to most things. I love teaching and sharing skills with people, especially creative projects where we can make something out of nothing. I am very happy to undertake any kind of work that needs doing.
I love being close to nature and enjoy exploring new places. I enjoy cooking, sharing recipes and sharing meals together. I love learning how to cook new and interesting dishes! I enjoy playing guitar and love jamming with people whenever possibe.
Thank you for reading 🙏
