Hello! My name is Alex and I am coming to your town soon! After spending a wonderful 4 years living in Wisconsin and studying at university here, it is time for me to return home to England. What kind of avid traveler would I be, however, if I didn't use this opportunity to complete a lifelong dream, to road trip across the USA and see everything it has to offer. This summer, myself and 2 friends will drive 1000s of miles across tens of states to see the incredible national parks, historic cities and different climates, and we would love to see you too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The last four years studying here at university have been incredible, but unfortunately they have not left me rich!! As such, this road trip will be done on the cheap and while a lot of time will be spent camping in National parks and forests it wouldn't be a true road trip without visiting the best urban centres each state has to offer. Furthermore, Couchsurfing seems like a fantastic opportunity to meet people along the way, get to know what people in each state are really like and hopefully make friends in the process!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge film fan and have seen countless thousands of incredible movies, but heres a quick top 10 (if I have to think about it too hard it will never happen!)
1. City of God
2. Memento
3. The Big Lebowski
4. Ex Machina
5. A Bug's Life
6. A Beautiful Mind
7. La Haine
8. Ip Man
9. The Truman Show
10. Borat

As for books and music, I've always been very open and willing to give anything a go. I always thought that if it was good, I'll like it, and that's served me pretty well so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding over Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the only word to describe it was 'Amazing'

Teach, Learn, Share

I have played almost every sport under the sun and am halfway decent at some and more than halfway terrible at others. That being said, I would be more than happy to try and teach anything and when it comes to football (or soccer as it is commonly known over here) I think I might actually be able to pull it off.

I also played the violin for 12 years and the saxophone for 6 and retain a little bit of that knowledge
