  • Description

    Hello I’m Alexandra,

    Although in Italy I am getting used to it be Alessandra, which I like much better.

    I am a Canadian artist and writer that’s been travelling around the world for over 10 years. And now I’m currently in Italy hoping to expand more on the cultural experience and a find a nice place to settle down.

    I compose music, paint murals/canvas and currently in the process of writing a book on my exploration around the globe. I’m looking for a simple workaway to exchange a place for a quiet writing spot. I have much experience with animal care, it’s always nice company to have around when I’m writing. I have been riding and training horses for over 10 years and specialize in natural horsemanship. But in addition I have a background as a certified horticulturist, so always keen to work in the gardens and offer perspectives on sustainable landscaping.

    I hope this opens to the door to a future conversation and we can see where the river flows from there.
    Overall I am quiet, clean, respectful with a good work ethic and a kind compassionate heart.

    And yes that’s a tattoo on my forehead. I have spent many years working with indigenous tribes around the globe learning ancient ways and medicine, spending the last three years in Africa. I also run workshops and wellness retreats, recently just did one in Costa Rica. Working as a healer has brought much fulfillment into my life. So always open to sharing my gifts if you are interested but also very respectful of all cultural practices.

    Many thanks,

    Alexandra
