Description

Hello everyone, my name is Alexander, you can just call me Alex. I am originally from Ukraine, I left my country in 2023, lived in Ireland for about a year and moved to the USA in the fall of 2024.Now I plan to travel around the country for at least 2 years, helping and living with families in different states in exchange for their hospitality and good attitude.If it works out, I'll stay here for a longer period.I am a jack of all trades, I love to fix and repair things, I am well versed in car and motorcycle repairs, I am an auto mechanic by profession and also have many skills in home repairs.I also have a good understanding of gardening and agriculture. The families I stayed with say that I have a good work ethic. I don't need supervision and I can manage my own work time, give me a list of tasks and I will do it as best I can. I'm a bit of an introvert but I won't turn down good company but I don't like large crowds of people. I have a basic level of English because I didn’t have time to study, but I’m a movie buff and I learned most of the language from films, computer programs, etc., but overall I understand 60-70% of speech in context. I am very modest, I respect your personal space, your home and do not cross the boundaries of what is permitted, observing subordination and understanding that I am your guest and a guest in your country ✌️. If you have any additional questions for me, I will be happy to answer them, all the best to you ✌️
