Description

Hello my name is Alex. I have done a few work aways in several countries and have really enjoyed the experience.

I currently work seasonally in the salmon aquaculture business in Alaska. I have experience in home remodeling, scuba diving as well as several of various types of jobs throughout the years.

I enjoy learning languages (even if I am not great at it) and trying different foods. I work hard and enjoy getting to meet new people I may never encounter otherwise.

More details about your skills

Currently working at a hatchery in remote Alaska aquaculturing salmon seasonally. Have been on workaway since 2015 and have done them in several different countries with no negative experiences yet.

My skill set and experience is all over the place. The variety of jobs the past few years have been anything from factory work, to salt water aquarium, scuba dive guide, maintenance to even dressing up in costume for kids birthdays.

One of my hobbies is plants, compost and gardening. I have used recycle material from my recent job to construct several raised garden beds and a rain barrel system. I enjoy trying to grow new fruits and vegetables and would like to learn about growing in different climates. Permaculture and sustainable farming could be a good fit.

I have worked/volunteered in several hostels including Guatemala, Australia and Colombia. Each one has been a unique and great experience. You get the benefit of meeting great people who are also of a similar travel mindset on various stages of their journey. I am always up for a project for improvement.

Overall I am willing to learn and pick up task pretty quickly. I am positive and up for any challenge.

What else ...

I am certified as a scuba Divemaster and am considering becoming an Instructor. I have an interest in reef conservation and have had several reef aquariums trying my hand sustaining and propagating corals.

Would love to also try graphing, rooting and aquaponics. I have a bachelor's in history/sustainable forestry. As you might notice my interest are all over the place.
