Description
I'm Alex and I'm living in the UK. Next year, I'm planning to go to university to study geography.
I love getting to know people from different cultures, having been raised in both a Japanese and English environment. I also enjoy exploring new places and neighbourhoods in my free time on my bike.
Because of my interest in geography, I feel like I have a greater appreciation for local-scale sustainability projects, which I am interested in taking part in. Although I have lived in cities my entire life, I love hiking and spending time in forests.

More details about your skills
I have volunteered before at a furniture shop, where I helped assemble furniture and communicate with customers. I have also worked as a cashier in a retail environment.
I am looking to learn a wider variety of skills and hopefully get to know people that way. Although I can cook a few dishes, I would love to be able to learn how to cook dishes from other cultures.

What else ...
I am an avid football fan, something which I have found to be very useful when connecting with people from different countries. I also have a range of other interests, particularly geography (which I am planning to study next year) and linguistics.
