Overview
About Me
Hey there!
My name is Alex! It's nice to meet you.
I'm from the United States but I am currently living and studying in Germany as a master's student. I study Global Change Ecology, so the earth and environmentalism mean a lot to me! I love meeting people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Meaningful connections are key, and I don't like to spend much time talking about nonsense. Let's get to know each other and share the human experience!
If you'd like to check out more photos my Instagram is @itsalexcollin or if you'd like to find out more about me and my background I'm also on LinkedIn!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet the people and become better acquainted with an abundance of different cultures. I hope to meet as many people of diverse backgrounds as possible in my life. For me, Couchsurfing is a great opportunity! I despise all the typical sightseeing tours in the big red busses. Going from place to place trying to see everything in one trip really limits your discovery of a city. I would like to really get to know a place and its people (even if I have to come back many times). One way to do this is by spending time with a local. I hope to get a more intensive impression of the place I'm visiting. Perhaps you can show me the best places to go out, where to buy the cheapest pizza and where the sophisticated people meet.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm an intrepid traveler and my goal is to visit 100 counties before my time here on earth comes to an end. I've spent time as a flight attendant, and since then I have become a huge environmentalist. I like to think I have a pretty sound worldview but I am always eager to learn more from a diverse set of people. We can talk about the human condition, politics, travel, space, aliens, our biosphere, or whatever else comes to mind. I look forward to meeting you.
