Hi!
My name is Alex Tienda, I am a Travel Filmmaker-Blogger and Pilot, I do content for the internet and tv.

I started travelling by myself when I was 17 in a trip I made from San Diego to Miami with a one way bus ticket and 20 dollars in my pocket... It was FRIGHTENING!! but I managed to survive and then I loved it! :P haha

Since then, I became addicted to travelling and after winning a contest with a Mexican airline, I had the opportunity to fly as many times as I wanted, to any of their destination, during a whole year... FOR FREE!!!

As crazy as it sounds, I made more that 250 flights on that year... Then one thing led to another and to make a long story short (I can tell you the details in person), I work now as a travel filmmaker and I live travelling the world and sharing my experiences with my lovely, loyal fans :)

I am currently backpacking through Europe and shooting videos for my youtube channel. My videos are mostly about my trips with a touch of comedy, If you want to give them a look, search for "Alex Tienda" on youtube.

I also work creating marketing and video campaigns for brands and sponsors like Pepsi, Jack Daniels, Disneyland, Aeromexico, Bud Light, Nokia, among others :)

A little bit more about myself...
I'm a happy young guy who usually spends his life entertaining others, I enjoy making people laugh and/or inspiring them to do the things I do like travelling, playing drums, flying planes, etc..

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about how many years your life has... but how many life you put into your years.. or something like that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
