Descripción

Hi there, I'm Alex, in my 40's but still feel 20!

I'm a bit of a nomad with a love of travel and exploring new places.

I've loved my workaway experiences so far in Scotland and Spain, using my self converted campervan to explore, it's a great way to see the world.

I love cooking, my last full-time job was as a breakfast chef in a Scottish guesthouse and I also have a pizza oven in my van so can cook proper pizza on my travels!

I've been lucky enough to do volunteer work in various countries, these include:
Thailand - looking after rescue elephants, harvesting food/enclosure repairs/feeding/walking.
Texas - Working with All Hands and Hearts rebuilding/repairing houses damaged by hurricane Harvey.
Borneo - Helping with Orangutan rescue centre walkways/bridges/enclosures.
India - teaching basic computing to Tibetans in exile.

Currently I'm trying to learn Spanish and hope to move to the north of Spain in the future.

I love to help people, learn new things and get off the tourist trail.
I'm hard working, easy going and a bit of a perfectionist.
As long as I have tea, fried eggs on toast for breakfast and pizza then I'm happy!

Alex was a fantastic help to me over the past month while I had an unexpected broken toe and couldn't drive!! He is a lovely guy, always cheerful, got on great with my 3 dogs who he walked every day and constructed a new chicken coop so that I wouldn't have to deal with the steep slope up to the old one. I enjoyed his company and would highly … read more

Rebecca was such a great host, knowledgeable, kind, caring, along with a great soul.

Alex came at short notice and helped us considerably at a time when it was particularly appreciated. He was incredibly organised and efficient and frequently took the initiative to complete jobs that we regularly overlooked! He is knowledgeable about a wide range of skills and prepared to learn new ones ie care of our many and varied animals. We … read more

What an awesome place to workaway! Clare and Martyn were great hosts, friendly, welcoming and generous. My tasks were varied and enjoyable, it's clear that they have a real love for their many animals (Pigs, Ducks , Chickens, Turkeys, Geese, Alpacas, Peacocks, Goats and Sheep) and are very knowledgeable about them all, I learnt lots of random … read more

Well there's not much this man can't do lol!! We left Alex with a list and off he went!! Another brilliant Workaway experience, Alex is a perfectionist so everything he did was to such a high standard, we hit the jackpot! He was great fun to be around and he's super independent in his amazing van he converted. There's not much he can't turn his … read more

What a place to Workaway! I stayed for just over two weeks but wish I could have stayed longer. Pi and Lynton made me feel very welcome on the stunning and friendly island of Jura. They kept me busy with a wide variety of maintenance and repairs, on my days off/free time I could explore the scenic islands in my campervan. This was definitely my … read more

Drone flyer, pizza maker, children's story writer, plug fixer, pipe installer... and with a motto which I have already my own: there are not problems but challenges and... fixing the caravan was changeling enough!!!
Alex stayed at the finca for nearly three weeks and managed to make the caravan inhabitable. Now it has a more than decent toilet, a … read more

Victoria was so nice, caring and genuine, a great introduction to workaway. I spent the majority of my time at the finca in a lovely cherry tree lined valley. Victoria is a great teacher who was very patient helping me with my Spanish, I learnt quite a bit. Hopefully I'll return in the future.
