Hello! My name is Alex and I am a 35-year-old Australian.
I am fit and capable of working autonomously or within a team.
I have lived in Australia, Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and Norway - I have also travelled through Asia and Europe. I have been fortunate enough to volunteer in Cambodia to help build a house, work on a tea farm in Japan for 4 months (https://obubutea.com/alex-greenwood/) and a Bamboo Farm, and help to develop a small farm in Norway for 4 months. I have also taught English in South Korea (1 year) and Japan (2.5 years).
I enjoy Bouldering, BC Snowboarding, and practicing Hatha Yoga.Interests
