I'm Alex, a Brooklyn native who loves to travel and meet new people. I'm a reader, a hiker, a writer, a listener, an athlete, an adventurer, and pretty okay human being I think. I am easygoing and am an open book, and I love sharing my experiences and hearing about yours. I can be incredibly social if that's the kind of guest or host you want, but I can keep to myself too. I am clean and try to keep a fairly minimalist lifestyle, as I think more stuff detracts from and devalues the relationships we have with each other. If there's anything else you wanna know, please ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love starting new friendships, even if they are short-lived, and there seems no better place to do that.

Interests

Hiking, climbing, cultural exchange, skateboarding, exploring, reading, writing, going out for a beer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked el Camino de Santiago a few summers ago, what an amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a bit, I love to practice different languages, and I usually carry a few books with me that I'd love to pass along.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be very social if that's what you look for in a guest, and will happily stay up til all hours of the night discussing books or music or our upbringings or whatever. I am also more than happy to help with household chores or tasks, cook a meal, or buy us dinner or drinks. I want to make my stay with you as fun for you as it is for me, and as someone who has hosted a fair number of guests (outside of couchsurfing), I know that is possible.
