Description

Hello:) I’m Alex, I’m a student from the U.S. studying music. Currently I’m taking a year to explore and better understand the world as well as myself. So far I’ve worked on farms in Norway, Italy, Nepal, Vietnam, and Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand. Initially I chose to volunteer on a farm because it was the only the option, but I’ve really fell in love with the constant sense of satisfaction and simplicity of life it comes with. Being at the origin point of our food systems has been a thought-provoking and humbling experience that’s made me rethink what I value.

I’m always interested in different practices and attitudes around the world. I hope to bring all of these different perspectives back home with me.

More details about your skills

By working on farms around the world for the greater part of the last year I’ve had the chance to learn a lot from hands on experience. From planting/harvesting, to operating farm machinery, to felling trees, to taking care of a variety of animals, I think I have valuable experience that I can bring to my next destination.

If you’re interested in more specific skills, feel free to ask:)

What else ...

A sense of mutual respect and understanding is super important to me. We all have things we can learn from one another, but no one should feel above or below someone else because of this.
