Hola! I am Alejandra, or what is easier for most "Ale". I am from the beautiful city of Bogota, Colombia, but I live in Germany since 2019. I‘ve lived mostly in Munich, but currently (summer 2025) I’m not living there.

I travel a lot with my boyfriend Domenik, he is German.

About me: I think I might be one of the most curious person you will ever meet, I love asking questions and talking about any topic, I am also quite extroverted and active. I love to aquire new knowledge and to travel to new places. I also really like yoga and vedanta philosophy, babies and animals, dancing bachata, painting, reading, going to the sauna and swimming in rivers and lakes.

I am passionate about social engagement and I like volunteering and I care about environmental problems, so I try to live a life that takes sustainability into account. Finally: Most of the time you will see me smiling, I tend to get easily happy with the simplest things: looking at the sky and the dancing clouds or feeling the grass under my feet.

Dome: He is more introverted, and thanks to this and his serene attitude, he brings so much peace to my life. He loves doing bike tours, reggae music and meditation and spirituality philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and I prefer very much to meet locals than staying alone or only focusing on the touristic stuff.

I really enjoy CouchSurfing, I have stayed only 5 times with people, but all of them were great!. I also love “Hangouts” and events. I have done them in Prague, Amsterdam, Budapest and Bogota.

In september 2024 I attended the event “Madcrash” in Madrid and I even took my sister and mom with me, to show them what couchsurfing was, we all LOVED IT.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went SkyDiving the 4th of July in the US

I move to Germany thanks to a scholarship. It has been the most life changing gift I have had in my life.

Diving in Colombia is awesome. In Providencia Island I got to dive with sharks at 30m under water!

DOME:
- He went biking from Munich to Istanbul!

BOTH:
We went to India for 5 weeks and stayed in an Ashram for 1 week. We also went to the biggest pilgrimage festival in the world, the Maha Kumbh Melah.
