Gday! My name is Alex , I’m from the south coast of Sydney and am a bartender :-))
So far, I have traveled a fair bit around Aus, I road tripped New Zealand for a month and for the past four months I was working in the United States at a summer camp as a wrangler for horses and a sailing teacher. I spent some time in Canada and wasn’t ready to go home. So I flew to Germany to start my European adventure! So far I’ve been to Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Ireland, Holland, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. After all that I was ready for a bit of a break from Europe and headed over to Africa to spend some time in Morocco and the Sahara desert! I then went on to go to the Philippines and Fiji. Prior to graduating I travelled some other places and fell in love with the idea of meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I enjoy music festivals and any live music in general. Camping is a true love of mine, nothing better than getting outdoors and experiencing life the real way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

For my music taste, I’m into Australian bands, but can love and appreciate all music. I read spiritual teachings book, have just recently finished ‘The Alchemist’, ‘The Power of Now’ and ‘Letters to my Son’. I’m now moving onto ‘A New Earth’ and “Going to the Mountain” which is a biography of Nelson Mandela’s grandson - great read. My favourite movie is ‘Into the Wild’.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ride horses at a national level!¡

Teach, Learn, Share

Okk, well. Somehow, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn somethings here and there. I can sail, ride horses, drive heavy machinery, camping, fishing and I was a nurse for two years. I’m trying to learn guitar and you could say I have some stories here and there to share.
