I’m Alex, 20, just finished my Hitchhiking-Trip through eastern Europe. I’m curious, open-minded, and pretty easygoing. I love spontaneous adventures, deep conversations, and finding beauty in the Small things – whether it’s a sunset, a piece of street art, or a stranger’s story.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to experience places through the eyes of the people who live there. Hostels are fine, but nothing beats real connection, shared stories, and learning from locals. I love the idea of exchanging kindness and creating trust – even between strangers.

Interessen

I’m especially curious about the people of a country and what they create – their culture, their stories, and everyday life. At the same time, I’m always open to spontaneous nights, wild adventures, and the unexpected.
I love wandering through narrow, lively streets and truly feeling the heartbeat of a city.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I love Movies, although I always forget the names of the directors. Some of my Favorites are: Aftersun, das Licht, The Wind Rises (Miyazaki), Call me by your name, Seven Samurai, Reservoir Dogs, Come and See and Paddleton

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Oh where can we start as travelers?
For me personally, my last Trip really was crazy:
hitchhiking with Belarusian-mafia, guy with no driver license, cool Bosnian guy inviting us for raki and weed, guy having 2kg of weed. Also: partying 3 days in Berlin, getting Tattoo, jumping 16m cliff, meeting producer of “I took a Pill in Ibiza”, sleeping in beach (2x) and having amazing sunrise…and so much more, lets talkabout our amazing adventures when we meet.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I wouldn’t say that I know a lot about anything besides the surface level, I mean I’m still pretty young. But I like to talk about movies (also arts in general), politics, philosophy, poetry and sports.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...
