  • Description

    Hey beautiful souls! 🤠

    I promise I’ll be brief - I won’t tell you about that time I walked on the moon or when I discovered America but I did something. Let's jump into it! 👇🏼

    My name's Alex, I'm 26 years old and I have a DEEP LOVE for LIFE! 💝

    I was born and grew up in Ferrara, a town in Emilia Romagna in northern Italy but my life changed about seven years ago when I left Italy to go and explore Australia, in what I I thought was only going to be an “experience abroad”. Instead, Melbourne stole my heart and I ended up spending the last four years (on and off) there. It is right in the latter where I changed profoundly and where I began to love life and people even more. 🙏🏽 Yes, I do really love people and they are the reason why I love traveling. I have no doubt about it: people are what make a trip special and unforgettable.

    Nature lover, I like to appreciate it in its simplest aspects. 🌻
    Getting lost in long hikes through the forests, camping in the middle of nowhere and contemplating the stars timeless is my definition of happiness. Oh yeah, even admiring the sunrise by the sea or on top of a mountain touches me very deeply!

    Apart from travel, I’m a big tennis and music fan.
    Tennis accompanies me since the age of seven and it’s been essential in the formation of the person I am. Music, instead, there’s always been. Raised among Aerosmith and Pink Floyd I can say I’ve had a happy childhood!

    I strongly support sharing, curiosity and active commitment in what we truly believe in.

    👉🏼 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲:

    – Respect

    – Love for life

    – Gratitude

    – Persistence

    👉🏼 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲:

    – Positivity

    – Listening

    – Organization

    – Reliability

    👉🏼 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄?

    I've done soo many different jobs in my life but my main occupation is tennis coaching.

    I also LOVE writing and reading and that’s what you can find me doing in my spare time. I write about my deep love for life, I try to analyze human emotions and I share the importance of practicing gratitude in everyday life. To me every day must be lived to the fullest and I want to help people find their own happiness in the ordinary.

    👉🏼 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿?

    I didn't mention that my experience in Australia back in 2019 started right with workaway! Over the past eight years I've been able to gain lots of skills with over ten workaway experiences between Europe, Asia and Oceania. I did several jobs such as: gardening, painting, porter, cooking, cleaning, animal care, construction, and some other tasks. I'm very enthusiastic particularly when it comes to creative projects and simply being around kids!
    I have to say I never did any of those jobs before so you can understand I am very willing to learn something new all the time! Please consider me even if you need help in something I never did, I'll be happy to try my best. 😉

    My work ethic is strong. I believe that passion, determination and curiosity can make us learn any kind of job. With that being said, please consider my help even if I don’t have any previous experience. 😀

    After finishing a few months of work in Italy I've decided to take a few months off to decide what to do next so I thought this is a GREAT opportunity for me to use my time to experience something I’ve never done before and learn new skills! 🔧

    My goal for the upcoming trip is simple: to help, to give, to make connection, and to become a better human being for a better world. I'd like to do that by volunteering with aboriginal communities in remote Australia (specifically in Northern Territory). While I had a great time in the land down under, I've always wanted to learn more about the aboriginal communities and as I'm about to say goodbye to this beautiful country, I really want to make this happen.

    I believe doing such an experience will help me gain new skills, challenge myself and, most importantly, give and spread love around me. I reckon we can only keep moving forward if we are able to keep challenging ourselves constantly by doing stuff outside our comfort zone and I am very keen and ready to do that! 🙋🏽‍♂️

    I wish to connect with locals and travelers, stay in nature, make friends and adventures; I really want to spread some good energy and positivity around me. ☀️

    When traveling I really like to disconnect from technology and instead connect the most with people. To me, the most important things are: to stay in close contact with nature and people, manifestate gratitude, spread some good energy to the ones around me and also (very important) to bring joy and value to the people I will meet, together with making a positive impact on your project! 🌈

    Have a good life everyone! 🌏

    I'm very keen on learning new things and when I have to do a task I always try to get the hang of it as quickly as I can. I want to do my share and I'm furthermore open to do what I've never done before!

    I've got experience in gardening, painting, porter, cooking, cleaning, animal care, photography and videography, creative projects and I love writing as you may imagine so I could also help you with administrative work or write articles for websites; I also strongly support eco-projects!

    Don't forget that, if you want, I can teach you italian and of course I can teach you some tennis as well!

    As long as you keep the smile on the face and you're kind to me it doesn't matter what you'll ask me to do. I'm here to help you and connect with you! 😊
