Description
Hi there! My name is Alex and I just finished studying.
In 2023 I spend a semester abroad (Sweden) with international students from all over the world. It was amazing meeting new people and getting in touch with different cultures. So I figured I'd like to see and learn more - with the help of Workaway.
I highly enjoy crafting and building things, renovating and reusing. Even though I don't have much experience with power tools, I dare say I'm handy and eager to learn. I'm also interested in learning about gardening and sustainable/self-sufficient living.
Sadly, I am not great with kids.
Some more hobbies and abilities:
- I'm fluent in English and German and would enjoy learning new languages.
- I love sewing and crafting (paper/cardboard, plastics, etc.). Would love to learn more about crafting/building with wood.
(In case you're wondering about the different names in the profile: I prefer being called by my second name Alex. Thanks for your interest.) -
