Hello, I'm Alex.
A friendly, kind hearted and very approachable bartender from Oxford, England with a new passion for travel, cocktails and meeting new people. I am hard working and enjoy working in a good team of like minded people.
I have just started the travelling chapter of my life and shall use my newly gained skills and qualification to help fund my adventures, gain new cultural experiences and meet new, amazing, like minded people. As of yet, I have not worked behind a bar but have recently graduated from EBS Kos. Bar work to me will be a new, exciting and very engaging experience which will give me insight into the industry and the social aspect of different workplaces and environments. Before I graduated EBS, I worked in an engineering company as a workshop technician working on precision maintenance of industrial machinery. I happily worked in the workshop under my own initiative and had to for the majority of the time, but preferred to work with my 3 other colleagues who I would easily consider my friends. I very much enjoy outdoor activities and adventure sports such as camping, hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, just to list a few examples. Essentially, anything exciting to get me out back into nature and exploring the world around us. I have yet to do much exploring of the world but in this new chapter I hope to gain a wealth of new cultures and perspective on my life.
