Description

Hi there, I'm Alex, in my 40's but still feel 20!

I'm a bit of a nomad with a love of travel and exploring new places.

I've loved my workaway experiences so far in Scotland and Spain, using my self converted campervan to explore, it's a great way to see the world.

I love cooking, my last full-time job was as a breakfast chef in a Scottish guesthouse and I also have a pizza oven in my van so can cook proper pizza on my travels!

I've been lucky enough to do volunteer work in various countries, these include:
Thailand - looking after rescue elephants, harvesting food/enclosure repairs/feeding/walking.
Texas - Working with All Hands and Hearts rebuilding/repairing houses damaged by hurricane Harvey.
Borneo - Helping with Orangutan rescue centre walkways/bridges/enclosures.
India - teaching basic computing to Tibetans in exile.

Currently I'm trying to learn Spanish for future travels and would love to become fluent.

I love to help people, learn new things and get off the tourist trail.
I'm hard working, easy going and a bit of a perfectionist.
As long as I have tea, fried eggs on toast for breakfast and pizza then I'm happy!
