Hola, my name is Alejandro Gonzalez.
I'm 24 years old, born in Caracas Venezuela, but I have been living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for the past 10 years. I'm currently traveling the world, trying to find myself and discover who I really I'm and what I want. I finished my career 2 years ago. Because I couldn't find a job in my field (graphic design), I started working as a bartender, but it was time to move on. I felt a bit trapped in the Netherlands so I decided to start traveling. Right now it's just me and my backpack crossing the Americas! The plan is to start in Colombia and work my way down to La Patagonia, Argentina.

I'm clean, respectful and very adaptable/ flexible. I can help you with whatever you want and I'll be there for you if you need a hand while I'm staying with you.

I love animal, I have had 11 dogs and 6 cats during my life. I believe they are loving creatures put on earth to sure a purposes... GIVE LOVE!

One of my greatest passions is eating, I believe we were put on earth to try all kinds of food. You will find me eating everything I can get my hands on. It might look disgusting, I might not like it, but I will try it! The second one would be discovering amazing places. Especially to watch a sunrise or a sunset and if I can, take an amazing picture!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is an amazing way to get to know new and amazing people all around the world, experience different cultures, help each other and for sure the best low budget way of travel!
