My name is Alex Clayton and i currently live in Melbourne Australia. I have been here for 12 years, before that i lived in England for 4 years and prior to that South Africa for 7 years. I am a personal trainer and bar supervisor in Melbourne and have been doing both of these professions for a couple of years now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to start couch surfing because when I move to Vancouver I would like to be shown around by someone who lives there and introduced to a new group of people.

I have had similar experiences in Australia showing backpackers around who work with me and as a result i was able to show them the hidden gems of Melbourne and this is what i would like to experience in Canada.
