Description
Hello! My name is Alexa, I'm 24 yrs old originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. I spent most my childhood growing up in the desert of Arizona, but have lived between New York City and London for the last 6 years. I recently graduated from New York University with a Bachelor's degree in European History and Film Studies. Although I love the city, I miss being close to nature and am looking to reconnect!
I'm familiar with / interested in many trades. Not afraid to get my hands dirty, used to being on my feet and doing physical + domestic labor, extremely open-minded and learn quickly. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, cycling, reading, cooking, dancing, watching movies, practicing new languages, hearing live music, and occasionally roller skating! I love animals, people, plants. I'm clean, organized, easy going — always up for an exchange of stories/interests but also content to keep to myself. I have EU (Irish) passport so no issues with visa / stay duration.

More details about your skills
I've worked as a used bookseller for the last few years so I'm comfortable with sorting through lots of dirt/dust, lifting heavy boxes, organizing, etc. I grew up helping my family garden and helping family friends on their horse ranch. Have always lived with dogs and have taken care of cats. Good with kids and have also cared for elderly hard-of-sight.
