Hi there! My name is Alexey (I go by Alex) and here’s a bit about me:

🎓I’m going the world’s most selective school - Minerva University. Currently, I’m living in San Francisco and going to study in Taipei and South Korea next academic year. Prior to Minerva, I spent three years studying Linguistics, which fueled my love for languages. I'm excited to explore new countries with you all and learn at least the basics of the local languages. ¡Hablo español también! So, if you're a Spanish speaker, I'd be thrilled to connect and practice with you!

✍️ I'm a huge fan of creative writing and storytelling! I'm always on the lookout for inspiration and new ideas. May even finish a book one day 👀

🗺️ I'm a get-up-and-go kind of person and live for spontaneous trips. Whether it's a 4 AM hike or a last-minute weekend trip to the cheapest destination, count me in!

🎵 Music is my heartbeat. I play several instruments and am always on the lookout for a live show, even if it's an emerging artist's performance.

🎞️ Photography and filmmaking are my creative outlets, and film photography holds a special place in my heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love experiencing new cultures and ways of living. Staying with locals allows me to learn firsthand and broaden my horizons. I also enjoy sharing my own culture and experiences with my hosts. Couchsurfing is my go-to for authentic cultural immersion and meaningful human connections.
