Description
Hi! I'm Alex, 40, originally from the USA but have been living in Madrid teaching English and learning Spanish since September 2011. I'm fortunate enough to have also lived in Australia and New Zealand, allowing me to make and maintain friendships all over the world. There's not much more that I love than a great conversation and finding a kindred spirit! I have residency in Spain that allows me to travel around the EU!

Hola, soy Alex de eeuu. Tengo 40 años y he vivido en Madrid desde Septiembre 2011, enseñando inglés y aprendiendo español. He tenido la oportunidad de vivir in Australia y Nueva Zelanda, permitiéndome hacer y mantener amistades en todo el mundo. ¡No hay muchas cosas que me encantan más que una conversación genial y encontrando una alma gemela! Tengo residencia de larga duración en España y la UE!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
In addition to teaching English, I love to bake and cook, and create fun projects for children. I've taken a sailing course and would love to improve those skills. I think I'm highly motivated, patient, and able to bring enthusiasm to the projects I participate in. I love to do manual crafts, particularly embroidery.

Además de enseñando inglés, me encanta hornear, bordar, y hacer proyectos de arte. He hecho un curso de navegación y me encantaría mejorar mis habilidades. Soy muy motivada, paciente, y siempre llevo entusiasmo.

Energy, that's what you feel when Alexandria (Alex) arrives at our estate. A feisty lady who, like most Americans, has
difficulty keeping her mouth shut. An all-rounder, easy to deal with people and animals. Sporty and challenging, she
doesn't turn down any opportunity and quickly picks up various equipment such as the brush cutter, chainsaw and… read more

I have learned and done so much during my time here at Patty and Hans' (but the real boss is Floydtje, their sweet dog)! I'm very grateful I could stay here.

After breakfast, Patty or Hans would show the other workawayer and myself the task to be done. We worked on weeding, creating terraces for the plants, constructing "vineyards" for the grapes… read more

I have really enjoyed the last week and a half at this workaway! During my time there, I met amazing creative people who really inspire me to be more artistic and expressive. The meals we shared together were on a professional level of delicious as well as nutritious. I loved these moments of eating and talking together.

After a communal… read more

I am already trying to plan when I can return. The last three and a half weeks have been filled with so many emotions, from love and happiness to heartbreak and anger. Here I saw the full spectrum of people, from the people we had to rescue the animals from to the people who give their time, energy, and money to the rescued.

We got up between… read more

Las dos semanas compartidas con Alex nos han hecho descubrir sus grandes cualidades humanas y su enorme simpatía. Alex es muy interesada a la vida rural y tiene muchas ganas de probar y aprender cualquier actividad. Juntas hemos cortado leña, acolchado frutales, desmontado y limpiado un gallinero abandonado desde hace mucho tiempo, pintado muebles… read more

No puedo decir en palabras mi agradecimiento a Sindy y Marco. He pasado las últimas dos semanas en su paraíso y podía quedar por mucho más tiempo.

Por las mañanas, hicimos cosas en la casa (si hay lluvia) o fuera con el sol. Un día cogimos fruta, otra día estamos limpiando el gallinero. Casi todos los días hacemos algo diferente y aprendí mucho!… read more

Alex was an excellent workawayer and a delight to host! She had a really warm and friendly manner and was adaptable with a positive attitude towards everything.
In our home she was clean, tidy and really respectful and during the work she was resourceful and trustworthy. We could leave her to get on with a task knowing she had good sense and that… read more

I had a lot of fun here for the last eight days. We had sunny as well as rainy weather but we had tasks prepared for both. Annie is really good at keeping track of time to make sure that you don't work more than the five hours. We would go feed the animals before nine, then get down to other jobs. It was never too strenuous and could take a break… read more

I've spent the last twelve days there and I was sad to go. During my stay, I spent time gardening (weeding, planting, watering, clearing the land) as well as helped begin a temascal made out of natural materials. We worked hard but had fun the whole time.

I met Greeks and got to learn more about the culture and the history. I got to meet other… read more

I had an awesome time here with Angie, Phil, and all the dogs, chickens, and cat. It didn't feel like work because the puppies and dogs kept me happy and laughing the whole time. I'm really thankful for the opportunity to stay with them and help out in my small way. It's inspiring to see someone so dedicated to these animals and you get a lot more… read more
