Hey all!

My name is Alex and I'm a friendly guy who travels as much as he can. My favorite part about traveling is that I get to experience new cultures and ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and that's been happening more and more because my sister moved to Germany. When I go see her, I make a trip out of it and go to as many other places as I can!

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz (straight ahead, Latin, gypsy, bebop, and the rest), blues, big band swing, rock and roll, Irish rock, classic country. There are more too!

The Innovators, Wheel of Time series, Devil's Horn, Oryx and Crake. I also have read lots of physics text books :D

Movies regarding the music business are fascinating to me.

Comedies are great as well! If you've seen and Mystery Men then we'll be friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked on a glacier in Alaska. The water from its stream was the best!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about physics if you really want...haha

I'm also a jazz musician so we can talk about music and jam for sure!

I like to learn - any topic would be interesting to me once we get into it!

That in mind, I'll share with you anything that I learn from my travels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer myself! I'm an ideal guest. We can have great conversations. I also am very low maintenance and would take up little room in your home.

Something more tangible, I can:
-Help clean around your house or help with outdoor chores.
-Fix physical/mechanical issues you might be having with your home or something you own. I'm good at this type of thing.
-Reach high things for you! (I'm 6'3" or 1.9m)

Don't be shy to ask, least I can do!
