Hi! I am Alex. I love animals. Especially reptiles. I have a pet bearded dragon and a hairless sphinx cat.
I been to 116 countries. Iran and Tajikistan are my favorites.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Seeing the sights superficially as a visitor without a local connection to the people feels like a shallow and dissatisfying way to experience a place. I would much rather stay in a part of town I may not have picked, see what it is like to live locally through whatever window of insight my host shares, and experience places through organic adventure instead of as a series of commercial transactions on the free market mediating what I am supposed to experience and how.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

- Survived a terrorist attack
- Hitchhiked from Western Europe to Southeast Asia and back
- Woke up to roar of wild lions
- Spent the night sleeping in a pizzeria, a bakery, a yurt, a parking lot, a cargo ship, a border post, a slum, and a brothel.
