    Aloha,

    My name is Alexandrine aka Alex. Currently in between two jobs, so why not seize the opportunity to accomplish one of my dreams: discover the mystical islands of Hawaii :-) Traveling like a tourist isn't something that interested me. I prefer staying longer in one place, seeking deeper connection and real learning experiences. One thing is sure—I’m a very curious person who loves to learn all sorts of things by experimenting in real life rather than studying them in books.

    I have a beautiful opportunity to take a little pause between two chapters in my life, and I’m excited to see what unfolds.

    Here’s a little piece of my story:
    I was born in Manhattan and raised in Belgium, the daughter of a Japanese–Spanish (American citizen) mother and a Belgian father. With this multicultural background, I’ve always carried an open and adventurous spirit. I’m bilingual in English and French, and I also speak some Spanish.

    After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Communications in 2014, I set off on a solo backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. Volunteering at a youth hostel in Bangkok, an animal farm, and a guesthouse in Japan gave me my first taste of service, connection, and cultural exchange. I then spent time living and working on the island of Ko Tao.

    In 2015, I returned to Brussels for an office job, but soon felt the call of the road again. Australiaaaaa, here I come! I lived and worked there for two years, taking on all kinds of roles: copywriter, massage therapist, barista, waitress, animal keeper, farm worker, housekeeper… the list goes on. Every job enriched me, taught me new skills, and shaped me into the woman I am today.

    After returning from my travels in 2019, I chose to dedicate myself to an art form dear to my heart that entered my life in 2013: lomi lomi—caring for others through bodywork and loving presence. It is a practice I approach with the utmost reverence, love, and devotion. The world is in deep need of the aloha that Hawaii naturally holds! I am also very aware of the hardships, injustices, and suffering that exist there. Please know that I pay my respects and deeply honor this art that resonates so deeply within my heart.

    In general, I’d say I’m quite a multidimensional being—someone who enjoys living fully in the body but also engaging the intellect. Alongside practicing massage therapy, I’ve held part-time roles such as manager in a youth hostel and later HR & Communications Manager in a motion design studio. I’ve always been curious and drawn to undertaking diverse projects that nourish different parts of myself. I am also committed to volunteer work in my everyday life—through the AFS program, where I mentor young exchange students, and with another NGO that helps our elders combat isolation and loneliness.

    Now, here I am 10 years later, back on volunteer mode, and ready to embark on a new adventure—this time as a woman who knows herself, grounded in her values and dedicated to spreading beauty, love, and unity. Today, I feel called to Hawaii itself. Not as a tourist, but as a visitor—ready to learn, give back, and connect deeply with what is there. I bring my enthusiasm, positivity, and adventurous spirit, along with my random life story ;-)

    It would be an honor to dedicate my time, energy, and heart to a project I resonate with.

    With much aloha,
    Alex

  • Was könntest du arbeiten?

    I have developed a wide range of skills over the years through various work, volunteer, and life experiences.

    To sum it up: I’m a very dynamic and fit person who simply loves doing things. My drive is mostly people—I love caring for people, kids, and animals. I also enjoy organizing and planning, and I thrive on variety, as it allows me to engage in different ways and make use of my diverse skill set.

    To break it down more clearly, here are some skills in three categories:

    MIND
    - Languages: English, French, Spanish
    - Project management
    - Content creation
    - Entrepreneurship
    - Planning, organizing, shopping

    BODY
    - Well-being: massage, yoga, breathwork
    - Sports: dancing, swimming, running, baseball, walking, tennis, horseback-riding.
    - Cooking
    - Gardening

    SPIRIT
    - Meditation & contemplation
    - Highly sensitive person with strong intuition
    - Caring for people, kids, and animals

    That being said, I’m an eternal student of life with a shoshin mindset (beginner’s mind). I love learning new things, adapting, and growing. I’m easy-going, a fast learner, a great listener, and a considerate person.
