I am Alexander, an explorer and maybe even a friend. I am passionate about Life, the Universe and Everything. That is why books are often times my best friends. I can laugh with them, and cry on their binding, but always they take me to what the world wants to be, showing me the depths and vibrations we all function at. Always they show me walls that life tries to convince me exist, and how to break them down. But then I they sometimes build new walls, entire fortresses, so that I can climb on top of them and see something amazing. I hope you can too.

I might as well say here that I am Gluten Intolerant and Vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because, "What if?" I do not know my future, I just know that always something is around the corner and I might discover something incredible by meeting incredible different people. The possibilities open to me are to vast to resist.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Irish, Celtic, New Age and Classical Music. Has anyone ever heard about Secret Garden? Really, anything with string instruments in it is interesting to me.

As for movies, I hold a special passion for all the Studio Ghibli Films.

For Books, I enjoy many fantasy novels including Eragon, Bartimaeus, and The Claidi Collection. I also love the Bronte sisters, Jane Austin, Tolstoy, and Dostoyevsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have read all of Don Quixote for fun. It was a most excellent book for Don Quixote showed the world as it was while reaching for lucid truth by his actions!

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion to learn French just might match the troubles my Dyslexia gives me with languages (including my own).

More than that though, I want to observe and learn about other perspectives and world views in a real environment. I will gladly share some of my own if it is requested. World views aside, I wish to discover what causes people to tick.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an enthusiastic explorer and companion! I really want to get to know my host and their life in the place I am visiting, and so I am eager to share my experiences their with my host. I am also adamant about being a good guest, and above all a good new friend! I will post handwritten letters to those who should be interested.
