Actually 24 years old. I don't get drunk and don't smoke tobacco. I'm looking for friends abroad and I like to learn new things about other cultures. I prefer to live like a local when travelling, especially in order to improve my spanish. I'm not a fan of tourist resorts. I support the Left party here in Germany, because we share common values and because I am a Trotskyist. I'm a Californian and I live in Berlin. Instagram me: al2nogermanmodel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and experiencing different cultures.
I like to tell stories about California to people: the fact and fiction.
