ABOUT ME:
I'm a young enthusiast of all things nature related. Born and raised in Andalucía, Spain. I come from a family of farmers of the region of Almería. I spent most of my childhood doing sports, helping out with the harvest and spending time at the beach with family and friends.
I love the peace and freedom that being surrounded by nature brings. I have a passion for taking care of the only planet we have which led me into studying a degree Energy Engineering, being particularly interested in off-grid technology, sustainable architecture, circular economy, organic farming & community energy projects.
I am enthusiastic about learning and growing my skillset with the goal of creating a positive impact in our community.
I love being outdoors, if I am not surfing I will probably be in the mountains hiking, camping or climbing. I am also an avid reader and science geek.
For the past 2 years I have been working in the Renewable Energy sector, however I have experience managing teams in summer camps & hotels too (from serving food to cleaning).
WHY AM I HERE FOR?
I want to find new experiences to connect with people in an environment surrounded by nature, mountains or the sea. As these are the things that bring me the most joy.
Specially interested in Eco Villages, Remote Hotels/Hostels and Organic Farms.
My dream is to become a writer and need a quite space for my thoughts to flourish.
Excited to exchange ideas and conversations with other humans.
Un abrazo,
Alejandro
