Description
Hello there,
I’m Alex a civil engineer currently embarking on travels to broaden horizons, experience new cultures, connect with communities and live a fulfilling life.
Initially using a couples account (now owned by my friend) I have volunteering teaching English and helping around the house. Lombok, 1 month. Thailand, 2 weeks. Vietnam 2 weeks.
I’m seeking further cultural enrichment, community engagement through teaching, sustainable projects and cultural exchange.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Any questions please don’t hesitate -

I’m a consultant civil engineer, specialising in ports and project management. I can help advice general engineering questions you might have for ongoing or future projects.
Since travelling I’ve now spent 2 months teaching English, across 3 counties, for 3-17 year olds. Focusing on beginner and intermediate levels. I’ve completed a 40h English Second Language course.
I’ve long volunteered at festivals supporting sustainable initiatives and general helping.
Seeking further teaching, community initiatives, sustainable/low plastic living and earth building. -
