Description
Hello! My name is Alex, I am a 21 year-old University student in the US (Philadelphia) studying finance and dance. During my breaks from University, I love to travel and experience new cultures, people, languages, and geography. I am part of a large family with three brothers, and we spend a lot of time together playing all sorts of games and going to new places. I am a very active individual, commonly enjoying runs and bike rides. I also like to play sports with my friends like soccer, football, basketball, and volleyball. Last March I sailed through Norway skiing the mountains. I also kayaked the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden. Lately I have been learning Spanish as well. When I am not in school, I like to try new things and visit new places, but more than that I love to meet new people and immerse myself into new cultures. Language barriers do not scare me, neither do differences in age or ethnicity. I embrace differences which allows me to get along with others very easily. I also volunteer as a Sunday School Teacher at my local church because I love working with children. I have taught gym and English classes in public schools and babysat. During a workaway, it would be important for me to get to know my hosts well, and really become part of their family. I look forward to meeting people all over the world!
