Hi, my name is Alexander and I'm 22 years old from Ottawa, Ontario.

This year I worked at a rock climbing gym, volunteered at my old elementary school, and tutored English and grade 9 math. When I go back to school in September I'll be attending UBC Vancouver.

I'm currently travelling in Japan. I've been to Tokyo, Nikko National Park, Kamakura, Fujikawaguchiko, Matsumoto, and Kiso Valley.

I'm currently in Kyoto and will be heading to Fukuoka.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people through Couchsurfing and hang out. I'm also learning Japanese, so any words, phrases, or advice about learning Japanese is appreciated! :)
