Description
Hey! My name is Alexa, (I prefer lexa)

I am 24 years old and I’m from London. I’m a native English speaker and an online English teacher. Also, with a little work & a lot of practice, I managed to teach myself Spanish! I have previously worked in a nightclub as a medic, but got tired of being around drunk people every night.. around the same time that I left my job I realised I wasn't happy living in a city with a "normal" life, so I decided to pack my bags and get moving😁 in 2016 I first volunteered in Central America on a bio-construction and sustainability placement. There was where I first found a love for volunteering, sharing life & bio-construction.

Since I've started travelling I've been involved in some amazing projects and lived in some great communities (both with WorkAway and without). I've learnt so much about myself, my spirituality & loads about plants!

I love to be in nature, I love to meditate, I love poetry and I love to read. I wish to learn more and share the knowledge I have about spirituality & medicinal plants. I am also passionate about my activism and pride myself in being a kind, empathetic person to all. I love to meet new people and have new experiences and make new connections! I'm on a journey to give & receive love, find joy & peace and share life with like-minded people.

Ha sido un placer hospedar a Lexa y contar con su ayuda. Rápidamente empatizó con Itaya, mi hijo, y él con ella. Varios meses más tarde se sigue acordando de Lexa. Ella es una buena persona,con un gran corazón que llegó a nuestra vida en un momento que nos vino muy bien.
todo lo que puedo decir de Lexa son cosas buenas y hemos estado muy bien con… read more

Salvador is a lovely man, extremely hospitable and very kind-hearted. He made sure I was comfortable in my own room and had everything I needed throughout my stay. The food was always lovely and it was really nice to share conversations with him about life as he has a lot of knowledge.

His son Itaya is a very smart little boy, he knows lots of… read more

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my travels. The nicest family I could ever meet and they were more than accommodating! I learned so many things and each day was a new adventure for me, the food was always great and the company was even better. I truly felt as though I was part of the family and it was great to get to know the… read more
