Descrição

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

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

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.
