Description

Hey I’m Alex Miles, from the U.S.
I am an experienced sailor on traditionally rigged boats, and have some skills in carpentry and custom leather work. I've got my sea legs and I know my knots, but plan on following my feet all over. I can keep my wits about me in heavy seas and howling winds, through the dead of night, even if I've hardly slept in days. Getting my hands dirty is a favorite pastime. I've worked construction, so I'm pretty handy. I'm no master mechanic, but I can turn a wrench. I'm no master chef, but I can make food that won't kill you. I'm an experienced hitch hiker and camp spot finder, so I am used to getting accustomed to new environments, and that’s why I’m here: to learn about different places and lifestyles.

I can honestly say this was my favorite workaway experience yet. Kristina and Koikili are extremely gregarious and generous people. I got to practice my Spanish with them and they took me around Lesaka and other nearby pueblos on the weekend. Getting to know these two and this area of Spain has been the best part of my trip in Europe so far. … read more

Alex had been our handyman for a month helping with renovations and other tasks. He is a reliable professional who can be quite versatile person when it comes to refurbishing (as he did with us) or maintenance. He is independent and selfsuficient personally and at work, and a curious soul searching for meaningful experiences. We wish you all the … read more

I had a great experience staying at the place. Nohemi was helping me practice Spanish the whole time I was there, and gave me a couple of private tutoring sessions. Roger went out of his way to make me feel at home and check in every once and awhile.
I worked almost entirely autonomously, receiving instructions for tasks and sometimes a hand from … read more

Alex stayed here for 4 days in early January 2015. He was exceptionally friendly, intelligent, courteous and diligent. We had Alex paint trim, re-hinge and hang a wooden gate, move heavy furniture and shutters and also pet sit our dog and cats. Alex was a pleasure to have around and we wish he could have stayed longer! He is welcome at our … read more

Katherine and Erin were incredibly warm and welcoming. I felt at home on the first night when they took me to the local bar and gave me the low-down of the property. Comfortable accommodations, warm showers, and Erin even offered to do my laundry! The property has a beautiful view and a lot of cool projects that need doing. Katherine is really … read more
