Alex Timon

Alexis was born and raised in Ireland. After graduating, he decided, on a whim, to go to France in search of answers to some burning existential questions; sunshine, myth or reality ? Can there be life without 6 months of rain a year ? Armed with 5 words of French, all carefully selected to convey varying degrees of thirst, Alex found himself harvesting grapes on the chalky slopes of Chablis in Burgundy. The experience proved to be a revelation, and realizing that he had to find a way to sustain a new lifestyle, he went on to spend the next 12 years working in the French wine industry, before moving with his family to Andalusia where began working in tourism.

An avid traveler, Alex believes that cruising on a bike is the greatest way to experience a new culture; slow down, see more. Genuinely interested in people, he enjoys the quirky side of life, and is always eager to share his love of gourmet food and fine wines with a willing audience. Alex lives with his wife and two children in the south of Spain.
