Btw I am new to this app! Here is a link to my Instagram since I have no references: https://www.instagram.com/alexjosanaya?igsh=MTB0YjVicHZxa2xrbA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Hello friends! I am from the United States, but am currently studying abroad at University of Edinburgh. I’m a simple person: I like folk music, adventuring, nature, and nice people.

I also:
1. Am obsessed with the TV show Survivor! My dream is to go on it and win!
2. Want to be a philosophy professor!
3. Find absurdist humor hilarious
4. Love anything cottage core or dark academia

When it comes to traveling, I don’t really mind what I’m doing (as long as it is cheap and different)!

Note to hosts: I like solo traveling. Thus, when I am surfing, I will want to spend some time with you, but not all. Because of this, I am also fine if all you can offer is a place to stay and some kind words. I’ll be happy regardless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To meet locals!
2. To meet kind people!
3. To learn about different cultures!
4. I want to learn secret spots!
5. Give people a place to stay so they can save some money! I can’t help right now since I am studying abroad and living in a dorm, but when I get back home I will be able to!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love folk music, alt and punk rock, rom drams (All the Bright Places, Normal People, etc.), classic dramas (Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets, Shawshank, etc.), and reading philosophy (ethics specifically)!
Also, Into the Wild is sick!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I go to an Ivy League (Brown) and am very proud of myself!!! However, I’m someone that tries to have infinite kindness and understanding for other people…and for that I am more proud! Ooo oooo I’ve also been to 44/50 U.S. states!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have known myself from a young age. That doesn’t mean that I know the world or everyone else. So really…I just want to learn anything I can to connect me to it.

Also, I can teach you about philosophical ethics!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do a lot of wacky things and have a lot of wacky stories. People also appreciate that I am a 100% honest person and an open book!
