Hey! My name is Alex Bayes. I’m originally from the Midwest, and have lived in California since college graduation. . I've lived in Hong Kong, traveled southeast Asia, and traveled the majority of the US on a road trip in my hippie van. :)

I love meeting new people and getting to know their stories, and would love to tell you mine! Always down for adventure, new foods, ideas, and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I would love to meet awesome people while I am traveling, and see a city/area from a local's perspective. Locals know best! I'd like to go on adventures with new people, and share some experiences.
