Hey I'm Alex, studying Film at the moment and living in Melbourne. I like reading, watching TV, playing tennis, and since we got foosball and table tennis tables, those too. I'm into dressing well, have a stack of clothes, into singing as well, and spend most of my time related to Film and Film Making. I like cooking, when I can chill out, and make good Mexican, pizzas and risotto. Love watching movies

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to Europe in 2012 and had an unbelievably awesone time. I made a ton of new friends, and I was amazed how friendly people were, and that was most appreciated being a backpacker when being offered a bed, or a meal meant a lot! I particularly loved Germany, Holland and Scandinavia, so I'll be going there when I go to Europe again. Me and 5 friends have a big share house in Balwyn with a pool, 45 minutes by tram from the city, I'm keen to make the most of it and let people couch surf, and have a good time cooking, playing games and checking out Melbourne.
