  • Description

    Hi!! My name is Alex, I am a 23 year-old lover of nature, animals, yoga, the ocean, and people, and I am excited to continue to travel the world and make connections and memories with unique places and communities. I spent a few amazing summers in Costa Rica and Nicaragua where I developed intermediate Spanish, and I hope to continue exploring Spanish-speaking countries to eventually become fluent! I graduated from college in May 2025, where I studied Psychology, English, and Philosophy. I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher (200-hour) and have experience teaching both in the US and in Costa Rica.

    I love to be outside and active. Swimming, hiking, biking, to name a few... and I am also a big ocean girl. I am a certified free diver, I love snorkeling, and I am a beginner surfer very interested in learning more. I am a beginner surfer hoping to learn more. I love spending time around all animals and am a big dog and cat lover. I have some dog and house-sitting experience as well. While I love to be active, I am also very content with a simple view and a book or some good conversation.

    In terms of skills and knowledge development, I am very interested in furthering my gardening/homesteading abilities. I love caring for animals and want to learn more about plant and garden care as well. I also spend a lot of time in the gym and am open to physical labor, lifting/moving heavy objects, and landscaping work. I am very open to building and creative projects too. I am interested in learning more about permaculture, farming, and caring/working with the ecosystem in ethical and harmonious ways.

    I love to help and contribute in any way I can. I am an experienced barista and can make a great latte! Along with that, I have 5 years of experience in the food and hospitality industry, engaging with many customers and guests! I can work in slow or fast-paced environments. I love to discover or create a project on my own, and I also love to contribute to team efforts. Essentially, I love to go with the flow! I am open to anything, and excited to learn new knowledge and skills while contributing to something bigger than myself. I look forward to meeting and connecting with you and contributing my positive energy to your home and community!
