Hi there!
I'm Alex, 22 years old, have recently graduated and am now travelling Latin America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've come to realise that travelling and meeting new people makes me intensely happy, perhaps more than anything, and so I figured this'd be the right place to come to in order to have more of that.

Interests

I am into: movies (making and watching), travelling, pretty much all kinds of music (not really death metal though), learning how to play the guitar, nice food (not the best cook myself, but I try), late night talks with friends (with you, perhaps?), discovering new places, nice bars and pubs, skydiving and not to forget hitchhiking!

Music, Movies, and Books

As mentioned, I pretty much like all kinds of music, so that's easy, lately very much into Arctic Monkeys and Pink Floyd.
As for movies, I like war movies to remind myself of how shit war is and how much we should all try to avoid it at all costs. Furthermore I like the somewhat alternative films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, but at times also the big Hollywood productions (Jurassic World was pretty cool :P).
Books: I like to read, but haven't done much reading lately. Here the broad interest regarding genres applies as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a tandem jump once, knew right then and there that I wanted to learn how to skydive myself, so that's what I did.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice place, at least I like to think so, some local insights into The Netherlands, Dutch ways of life in general and a good talking companion!
