Hi! I am from rural Washington State USA but have been living in Los Angeles for the past 4 years at Azusa Pacific University :)

I currently live in Peru as a Youth Development Volunteer for the US Peace Corps!

I'm passionate about meeting people who are different from me and learning from their life experiences.

Here's a blog about my time in Peru: alextbrouwer.wordpress.com

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Looking for fun and interesting people to meet while I travel Europe!

Sharing experiences with people who live in the places you visit is the best way to travel!

I want to share a bit of my life experiences in WA, California, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, and England while learning from the hosts I stay with!

兴趣

I love sports and have played basketball since I was just a kid!

I play the drums and any form of percussion and love music of all kinds!

I'm a nerd at heart and study theology, literature, philosophy, or anything else honestly!

I am most passionate about helping people in need, especially those who are oppressed and disadvantaged. I hope to one day work in a church or non-profit organization.

教，学，和分享

I'd love to share my passions for literature, community development, church/society, music, etc.

I'd love to learn about an insider's view of your community, culture, and city! I'd love to learn how to cook a dish from your country/area!

I can share about when I lived in a monastery for a week if that sounds interesting.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share my rural experiences working on a farm and living in the countryside of America. I can also share my experiences of living in Los Angeles and in South Africa for 3 months.

I'll try to be a fun person to meet and hang out with for a few days and hopefully a new friend :)
