Hi, I'm Alessio, but you can call me Alex :)
I'm an Italian born curious and in love with traditions, cultures and food :)

I work as Web/UX/Digital Designer. I'm a decent cook, I like music, playing guitar and piano as a beginner, traveling slowly, eating a lot, learning new things and discovering new cultures.

In 2018 I decided to quit my full-time job, become freelance and leave home to travel the world.
I left Italy with my (ex) girlfriend to discover Asia, and officially started my digital nomad lifestyle.

From 2018 and 2020 I ended up spending almost two years visiting Asia and South-East Asia.
Including traveling from Turin, Italy to George Town, Malaysia, without taking any flight, all the way by land, crossing Europe, Russia, Mongolia, China and visiting all the south-eastern countries.

Luckily, I traveled a lot, but I'm always looking for the next adventure.

I will now mostly travel alone and unfortunately this profile has no review, but you can visit my ex couple profile to know more about me and see how many times I used CouchSurfing around the world: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/sara-and-alessio and the Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/coconut_n_banana/

I love Couchsurfing because makes it possible to share time with locals and discover the real life of a place.
Hope to have some wonderful times together and thank you in advance for your hospitality!

See you on the road!
Alex
