Hi my name is Alex! I am currently living in Barranquilla, Colombia and working as a teacher.

I love travelling, meeting new people and sharing experiences with others. I was born and rasied in CA, but have traveled all over the states and world. I am always looking for a new adventure and love anything outdoors.

Philosophy
It takes more energy to be negative than positive. Expect less and receive more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled/lived throughout South America for the last few years. While traveling, I tend volunteer in hostels or do house stays as it allows me the real chance to meet and learn from others. I do not just travel to see a new place, I also look to learn about the culture.
