Hello! I'm Alex. I am a bubbly, passionate person who loves to dance, to travel and to learn. I'm a happy, easy going traveller. I enjoy wandering aimlessly, exploring new places or just sitting in the sun and watching the world go by. Beaches, market places and lively little streets and villages are my favourites. I believe that life is what you make it, so I am always working on creating a life I love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed a few times now and have always had an incredible time. For me, sharing stories and experiencing different ways of life is one of the most valuable parts of travelling. This December 2018 / January 2019, Max and I are heading to Central America and the Carribean and would love to find some locals to stay with!

Interests

I work in architecture and am keen on sustainability, urban design, languages and psychology. I spend most of my free time dancing (Latin) and also enjoy yoga, boxing, swimming, skiing, bodysurfing, drawing, watercolour painting, writing, photography, and theatre. I love to spend time in the mountains, by the sea, on the road, in the city, exploring and meeting new people. Also, chocolate and wine! Do they count as interests?
