Hi there,

My name is Alex I'm a happy go lucky bloke from Auckland New Zealand!

I was born and born and raised here and absolutely love people. I consider myself a bit of social butterfly and kind of fit in wherever people are situated. I have a degree in Education and a diploma in film. I do enjoy an intellectual discussion but a good laugh would suit me fine too if we're heading out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently done some travelling through Asia and now have my J1 work visa for the U.S.A. So I thought while I'm here I might mix it up and meet some locals the real way!

Interests

Socializing - Spending time with friends and making new ones

Huge sports fan! Basketball, Football (American), Frisbee, Rugby - GO THE ALL BLACKS!
