Description
I am a fun loving, flexible, hard working and honest farm boy from New Zealand. After leaving highschool and the farm, I studied civil engineering and worked as a structural engineer (mostly on highway bridges) for a couple of years. I have been travelling for 8 months now and am loving discoveeing different cultures and environments.
Volunteering is an awesome way to travel, connect with people, contribute to some cool projects and also have a laugh with along the way! I come with a big smile, easy foing nature and many practical skills from a farming background. Life is beautiful!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Was born and raised on a sheep and beef farm in New Zealand. Main jobs were mustering (with dogs), sheep shearing, drenching, docking, fencing, tractor work, chainsaw work, and a fair bit of hunting and fishing. Also know how to cook and clean to save myself from trouble with mum (bless her). Then I studied civil engineering and became a structural bridge engineer for a few years before travelling!

Alex wasn't staying at our hostel but he still helped out with language exchange at a local school asking nothing in exchange. Excellent communication, Alex is an easygoing chatty person taking the mist out if his travelling. Thank you!

Although I didn't end up staying with Monika and the team I was still able to help out teaching English at her children's school in San Cristobal. it was an awesome opportunity and I really appreciated the patience and warmth Monika has in responding to workawayers and organizing these opportunities!

Fue realmente una gran experiencia tener a Alex como voluntario. La sonrisa, buena vibra y siempre ayuda en lo necesario. Recomiendo mucho a Alex, fue uno de los mejores voluntarios que he tenido y ahora también un gran amigo.

This was my favourite place in 2.5months of travelling Mexico, a beautiful combination of the environment, people and atmosphere made my time here unforgettable. I loved the big team environment, working together, cooking and eating together, made this remote spot a slice of paradise! The bioluminescence, whales, turtles, lizards, birds and… read more

Alex is one of those exceptional volunteers, a real pity that he could stay for only week :)

He mostly helped installing waterpipes for our new rain water catchment system.. and from the first moment onward it was clear that he is very skilled. He analyzes how to do it - knows how to use his hands and tools - and gets it done effectively. Alex… read more

Amazing volunteer, greater person. I strongly advise anyone who's considering welcoming him to wonder no more. He will fit perfectly in any group and adapt to any task you'll give him.

This hostel/coworkers space is awesome and filled with awesome people. I had a great time here volunteering for a week or so. they really nurture a friendly family environment, often with dinners, music jams, walks and just general caring smiles. I appreciated the kindness from Diego and the team, even when I got a bit ill and had to take time to… read more

I absolutely love the environment around parque tayrona, so was super stoked to get the opportunity to stay with Audrik. It's a special place up in the mountains, very tranquil, lovely nature, mega fertile and a cool project. Audrik is generous with his time and appreciates good conversations. Would recommend to anyone wanting to spend time in… read more

I miss that "Good Morning Luciana!" that came along with a big smile, no matter if it was hot or mosquitos didn't let him sleep, he was always in great humor and answering every request with "absolutely!"
Chopping wood was natural for him and keeping the place clean and tidy was a blessing.
Thanks Alex for such a week!

My stay with Luciana in Mahahual was fantastic! Once settled in to the environment and camping lifestyle things are super easy going and relaxing. I enjoyed disconnecting from technology and connecting with the amazing coral reef that is reachable by swimming or a short kayak (which Luciana generously provides all the equipment for fun)!
