Hey! I'm Alex.

I have used Couchsurfing for years to host, meet up with, and be hosted by this great community. It was a shared account so I have recently set up this new one for myself. I have included photos of references from my joint account though so feel free to take a look.

I grew up in the UK and have been lucky enough to travel to around 40 something countries. My trips have included cycling in Japan and Korea, backpacking in Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, South and Central America, and a motorcycle trip around the US and Canada. As you can imagine, I have a lot of great stories to share!

I moved to Canada in 2019 and I am now working and living in Edmonton.

I love to hike, cycle, paddleboard, go out for meals, share stories and get to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Without this community my adventures would not be the same! I met a lot of great people through Couchsurfing who I am still connected to today.
