James hasn’t had it easy growing up. His father and a number of his aunts and uncles died before the age of 45, reminding James that we don’t all have forever to live. Inspired by the Air Nomads from “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” James is determined to live a life not attached to material things, but bringing peace and harmony wherever he goes.
One way he does that is by sharing free tea with strangers wherever he goes. Much like Uncle Iroh (also from Avatar), he finds there’s something magical about tea and conversation. His beautiful van conversion was built intentionally inside and out and every part has a story. Don’t miss the engaging tour with him below!
