Hi! I'm Alex, a college student from the United States. Right now I'm traveling Europe clearing my head and taking some time for myself before I start on the Job grind... Ugh. So I'd love for you to show me a memorable time so I can look back on the memories as I transition into the next phase of my life. I'd love to make new international friends on this app not just to visit once. but to make friends who will say yes to travel adventures in the future.

I am a professional photographer and videographer which means I can take your next professional headshot... For Real! I love using my talents to make people smile. The most recent project that I worked on was a 15-minute mini-documentary about a bike race in my college town. If you want to view some of my work check out my Instagram: @alexpaulphoto

My dream project is to create a photo book for myself full of portraits of all the people & friends I've met while traveling so I can look back and cherish these incredible connections.

One of the best decisions I ever made was taking a year off between high school and college which is pretty rare for an American. I bought a car and dirt bagged all around the United States, Mexico, and Canada for 9 months. I slept in wayyyy too many Walmart parking lots to count but it was all worth it for the awesome travel experiences I got to have.

I'll run and hike until my legs fall off so I'd love for you to share some of your favorite hiking spots or come on one with me as I love to find the hidden beauty of the places that I'm visiting. I ran a trail marathon last year and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. (don't worry we don't have to do anything that crazy! ahah)

My favorite thing to cook for people has to be Mexican Carnitas or Tamales as I was taught the traditional way by a friend that lives down in Mexico. I hope you're willing to try some spicy food!

I've been hiking since I was a kid, and I've walked in some of the most beautiful places in the world, including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, and the Rocky Mountains. I love the challenge of hiking, and I love the feeling of accomplishment when I reach the top of a mountain.
