Description
Hello I am Alex and I come from the coromandel peninsula on the east coast of the North Island in New Zealand.
I am a professional builder by trade with 12 years experience, building mostly high end residential architecture from the ground up. I also have a background in Art and am passionate about music. I love to cook.
I love the ocean and the pursuit of free diving and fishing. My partner and I have decided to travel/move abroad at this time in our lives so I can finally experience Europe where I have Dutch citizenship.
I am physically fit and enjoy a challenge.
