Description

Aloha,

My name is Alexandrine aka Alex. I've travelled, worked and lived in many countries in my twenties: Thailand and Australia. And now I'm closing a 7 year cycle of city living back in my home country Belgium. Now it's time to start a new chapter, more aligned to who I am now in my thirties. Ready to live a more simple, wholesome and natural life style.

Here’s a little piece of my story:
I was born in Manhattan and raised in Belgium, the daughter of a Japanese–Spanish (American citizen) mother and a Belgian father. With this multicultural background, I’ve always carried an open and adventurous spirit. I’m bilingual in English and French, and I also speak some Spanish.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Communications in 2014, I set off on a solo backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. Volunteering at a youth hostel in Bangkok, an animal farm, and a guesthouse in Japan gave me my first taste of service, connection, and cultural exchange. I then spent time living and working on the island of Ko Tao.

In 2015, I returned to Brussels for an office job, but soon felt the call of the road again. Australiaaaaa, here I come! I lived and worked there for two years, taking on all kinds of roles: copywriter, massage therapist, barista, waitress, animal keeper, farm worker, housekeeper… the list goes on. Every job enriched me, taught me new skills, and shaped me into the woman I am today.

After returning from my travels in 2019, I chose to dedicate myself to an art form dear to my heart that entered my life in 2013: lomi lomi—caring for others through bodywork and loving presence. It is a practice I approach with the utmost reverence, love, and devotion. The world is in deep need of the aloha that Hawaii naturally holds! I am also very aware of the hardships, injustices, and suffering that exist there. Please know that I pay my respects and deeply honor this art that resonates so deeply within my heart.

In general, I’d say I’m quite a multidimensional being—someone who enjoys living fully in the body but also engaging the intellect. Alongside practicing massage therapy, I’ve held part-time roles such as manager in a youth hostel and later HR & Communications Manager in a motion design studio. I’ve always been curious and drawn to undertaking diverse projects that nourish different parts of myself. I am also committed to volunteer work in my everyday life—through the AFS program, where I mentor young exchange students, and with another NGO that helps our elders combat isolation and loneliness.

It's been over a decade I'm deeply connected to Hawaii, firstly through the art of Lomi Lomi that I learned in 2013 and have been practicing ever since. That practice has allowed me to dive deeper and deeper into Hawaiian culture, philosophy and spirituality. I resonate deeply with this way of thinking. I enjoy learning Oleleo and want to give myself the opportunity to live there and see what happens. I have deep respect for the aina and its people. I'm looking for an opportunity to connect and help people that can enrich me while I get myself started out there.

Now, here I am 10 years later, back on volunteer mode, and ready to embark on a new adventure—this time as a woman who knows herself, grounded in her values and dedicated to spreading beauty, love, and unity. Today, I feel called to Hawaii itself. Not as a tourist, but as a visitor—ready to learn, give back, and connect deeply with what is there. I bring my enthusiasm, positivity, and adventurous spirit, along with my random life story ;-)

It would be an honor to dedicate my time, energy, and heart to a project I resonate with.

With much aloha,
Alex

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have developed a wide range of skills over the years through various work, volunteer, and life experiences.

To sum it up: I’m a very dynamic and fit person who simply loves doing things. My drive is mostly people—I love caring for people, kids, and animals. I also enjoy organizing and planning, and I thrive on variety, as it allows me to engage in different ways and make use of my diverse skill set.

To break it down more clearly, here are some skills in three categories:

MIND
- Languages: English, French, Spanish
- Project management
- Content creation
- Entrepreneurship
- Planning, organizing, shopping

BODY
- Well-being: massage, yoga, breathwork
- Sports: dancing, swimming, running, baseball, walking, tennis, horseback-riding.
- Cooking
- Gardening

SPIRIT
- Meditation & contemplation
- Highly sensitive person with strong intuition
- Caring for people, kids, and animals

That being said, I’m an eternal student of life with a shoshin mindset (beginner’s mind). I love learning new things, adapting, and growing. I’m easy-going, a fast learner, a great listener, and a considerate person.
