Description
My name is Ali and I'm looking to take a break from hectic, excessively digital city life in London and spend some time connecting with new people, developing new skills and experiencing different ways of life. I love living in a big city and all that it has to offer, but I have been yearning for something new.
I'm new to Workaway but have previously travelled in Europe, Colombia and Japan. My plan is to spend autumn 2024 in Central America, most likely Mexico but I'll see where the wind takes me. I speak basic Spanish, which I'd like to improve, as well as conversational French and some Italian.
Food and music are my two biggest passions and I'm always looking to learn more about different cuisines and sounds across cultures. More generally, I'm up for outdoor, physically challenging adventures and want to contribute to whoever is kind enough to host me. I learn quickly, enjoy getting my hands dirty and love being with animals.

He is open minded, always open and smiling.
He had been an amazing help in the farm during his stay, taking care of it as if it was his house.
He was always here to help on any job, and it was good to know that he is responsible and always doing his best for the place.
