Description
Hi! I'm Alex and I love travelling by bike cause I have time to look around and cause the trip becomes more important than the destination. I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging stories about life adventures or just talking about what I have in mind. I really like to make new experiences and learn by doing new stuff. I feel useful when I can help people by sharing my knowledge that, to be honest, is quite limited in terms of manual labour cause I have an academic background. However I grew up in the countryside with my family and we have fruit trees, a vegetable garden and animals so I learnt to use most of the commons work tools and I like manual work. I have some friends who have a farm and they use Workaway to have always someone around that can give a hand with the garden or with chores. I met there a lot of interesting people and I think the overall idea is brilliant so I want to be a Workawayer too and start travelling this way meeting open-minded people.
