Description

Climber with eng skills seeking work onboard ⛵️🛥️
I'm intrested in alternative way of living, exploring humanity and having fun along the way.

Hi!
I’m Alexandra, a Russian who has been living in Italy since I was 5 years old. I’ve been working as an automation technician for cruise ships. However, I’ve decided to leave my job and start a new chapter in my life.

Starting in July, my plan is to embark on a journey from Trieste to Athens. Along the way, I hope to meet new people and discover different cultures, while learning more about sustainable and minimal living. I’m interested in working close to nature and the sea, and building a future career on boats. I’m also interested in hospitality because I genuinely care about the well-being of the people around me.

I’ve always been a strong, reliable worker, but now I’m looking for a more relaxed and balanced way of life. I’m passionate about climbing, nature adventures, reading and living a healthy vegan lifestyle.

I’m always happy to meet other Workawayers, especially climbers. Feel free to reach out so we can share adventures and climb together 😁

Following my dreams, they know the way 🙏

More details about your skills

My expertise lies in electricity, networks, and IT systems, and I’m good in problem-solving and practical maintenance tasks.
I designed and built the entire electrical circuit for a friend’s house from scratch, taking care of material supply, as well as pulling and connecting all the cables.
I have several safety certifications related to my job, as we often work in high-risk environments. I have completed multiple courses, including Electrical High-Risk Safety Training, Fire Safety Training, First Aid, and Safety Supervisor certification, STCW on the way.
In addition to my technical background, I’m reliable, hardworking, and open to any tasks that might be helpful.
I can cook healthy meals and assist with cleaning and organizing. Some of my top recipes include pumpkin cake, banana bread, and ginger cookies. I enjoy preparing all kinds of vegetables and take care to ensure nothing goes to waste!
I worked for two summers at a beach bar in southern Italy, where I was responsible for preparing and serving drinks and food, managing orders, and handling cleaning duties.
I have experience with dogs, having had one of my own in the past, an Epagneul Breton named Pacifico. Taking care of him taught me a lot about dogs and deepened my love for them.
I have two younger sisters whom I used to babysit. Because of the significant age gap between us, I’ve gained plenty of experience in taking care of children.
