Hello, my name is Alejandro (I go by Ale or Alex) and I´m 29 years old. I´ve lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina all my life, but love travelling around whenever I have a chance. I´m a doctor, currently doing my training in Paediatrics, and at the moment doing my elective rotation in Heidelberg, Germany, until October.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard it´s a great experience. I´ve used hostels so far, but had not so many good experiences meeting people, so I thought this could be a great chance to meet people and also get a good recommended place to stay while visiting another city.

Interests

I´m interested in meeting people, travelling around, getting to know different cultures.
Love watching movies, I´m a big series and movie addict.
Love chocolate and beer.
