Hi my name is Alex, I live and work in the Big Apple (New York City). From the early age, I was fortunate enough to see the world. I traveled all over Europe and Middle East with my family (my mom, dad, and sister) as a kid. I think the first country I ever visited was Spain at the age of 2. I was immediately mesmerized by its beauty. Unfortunately, after going to college I have invested all my time into studies and wasn’t able to travel much. As soon as I was getting back up on my feet, the big oopsie happened to this world and all the travel was restricted. I am happy to have found this community and be able to participate.
