Description
Hi, I'm Jim or James, J. or Jimmy or whatever! I've left a life of "security", monotony, safety and predictability behind and now choose daily to have a life of magic, enchantment, love, connection, inspiration, fun and adventure. I love my life and I wouldn't trade with anyone!

I have many many useful and practical skills that allow me to move around the world in this fashion. I can build you entire house from foundation to finishing touches as well as provide those things that make a house a home.

I'm interested in literally everything! I'm fascinated! I'm someone who has never chosen a single "something" to do. I've realized recently that my calling, my proper place is in other people. By inspiring and encouraging others to do what they love to do I, in a way have a hand in so many of those things.

Left by host (Help at a fruit farm in ...) for Workawayer (James & Annette)

Jim & Cynthia stayed on our farm for about a month.
They both helped us with several different works, but especially
with carpentry works. In the end of October, we had a great horrible typhoon
and left lots of serious disaster. Our Fuji apples with lots of persimmons
dropped. Over 4,000 of them dropped. Also, many of our signs were broken

Cynthia and I arrived in Dulan and were promptly received by Susan and Wally and everyday thereafter happily greeted by the dogs 小黑（xiao hei)，巧克力 (qiao ke li) and 黑妞 (hei niu). Everyday I was looking forward to feeding the animals, four goats, eight chickens, two geese and of course the dogs. The work aside from that was varied and never too… read more

James was very helpful in carpentry and farming. We built an iron storage shelf together when they were here. When men were working on heavy duty tasks, Cynthia kept things tidy and neat voluntarily. They were a good team! We are lucky to have their help and are sure that other hosts would feel the same.
