Hi, I'm Alex. I'm currently cycling through France after returning to Europe for the first time in over five years!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning on cycling around Europe and, while I do enjoy camping, I would also love to meet people (and potentially spend a night sheltered from the rain...)

Interests

I love playing music. I am very interested in literature and theatre as well. I also enjoy wine, food, cycling, etc.

• wine
• traveling
• socializing

• camping

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music and I'm very openminded. Provided it isn't making Simon Cowell money, I'll probably listen to it.

As for movies and television, Netflix has destroyed my life. I need say no more.

When it comes to books, I generally read quite a lot of old stuff because of my work -- Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, etc. But I do also enjoy a Pratchett novel or some Lovecraft every now and then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to move to Australia when I was 19 and I lived there for 5 years. It was awesomesauce.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tend to travel with my ukulele, so I'm always happy to teach people some chords! I can also serenade you badly.
My grasp of Italian is poor, my French is even worse, so finding people willing to help me is always a treat.
I also have a number of bizarre anecdotes that I will likely share when in the presence of sufficient quantities of wine.
