CURRENT MISSION I'm a student trying to finish school, but keep my sanity while doing so. A semester or two is about all I can handle without going stir-crazy and needing to move or travel somewhere new. My mission would be to see and understand as much of the world as ABOUT ME Hey! My name is Alex. I love living the alternate lifestyle of traveling the world, always living somewhere new, and meeting new people. I'm 24 years old, part time student/part time traveler.

Music, Movies, and Books
There are too many books to name, but among my top 5 are (in no particular order) 1. "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky 2. "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss (if you haven't read that one yet, do yourself a favor) 3. "Human, All too Human" by Friedrich Nietzsche. 4. "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway 5. "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling Music- I can't even. I usually stay away from top 40 cause I'm just a hipster like that, I guess (unless it's Katy Perry. I love Katy Perry. It's a guilty pleasure.) and I don't care for country or a ton of hip hop. I do love; Punk rock Classical Bluegrass/Folk Electronic/House Prog Rock Post Rock Some kinds of Metal Shoegaze Indie rock And so much more that doesn't fit a specific genre that I can name.
Teach, Learn, Share
People who host are just about the coolest people I can think of. To help hosts out as a surfer, I can offer help with cooking/cleaning, hopefully a good conversation and good company, exchange information and stories about home, travels, and culture.
My Interests
My first loves are reading and writing. I'm absolute rubbish at creating much worthwhile at the moment, but it's a work-in-progress, and I love that. I love to hike and be outdoors and explore new places. I can go for weeks camping/backpacking and have had the time of my life, whether solo or with a group. I love to see alternative ideas and philosophies to my own and debate to understand them better. On the other end of the spectrum, I sometimes love to sit in my house and read or binge watch Netflix and play video games.
