Descrição

Hi all! I'm Alex and I'm 23 years old. Over the years Workaway has taken me all over the world, from farms in the jungles of Belize, the mountains of Switzerland, the meadows of France and the fields of Kentucky, a co-op / hippie commune in Northern California, a honeybee sanctuary on Maui, Hawaii and a gorgeous island in Washington state! I've also spent 3 months traveling Southeast Asia, and a life changing 2 months doing conservation research in the bush of Madagascar. I leap at any opportunity to dig my hands into the dirt and learn alongside new friends of all ages.

My passions are really centered around animal husbandry, foraging, becoming knowledgeable about the land, homesteading, bushcraft, and living in harmony with nature. I am very drawn towards ancestral ways of living, embodying a sense of reciprocity with and love for the natural world, and recognizing all that mama earth provides for us! I would love to improve my milking skills, as I love working with and raising animals, from goats to kitties to horses. I would also really love to learn more about foraging for nutritional and medicinal plants. I also love teaching kids about the wonders of the earth, basking in the sunshine, eating delicious homemade food, and immersing myself in new cultures.

I recently graduated from Skidmore College in upstate New York where I was on the rowing team, studied Biology and worked with an equine veterinarian. Now I am wandering and absorbing all that comes my way - off on a great adventure to see where the winds blow me!
