Hey, I'm Alex! I've been called the Gypsy Cowboy Spaceman before. Well, once. And never again.

I've recently come down with a case of the travel bug, which is terribly a shame, because I'm half way through college now and it's a challenge to get away from the student life.

If I've got more than a few free hours, you'll probably find me outdoors. Rock climbing/hiking/biking/etc.

If I'm not out in nature, I'm at some free event across NYC or hunting for my new favorite $1 pizza shop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) I've got an open couch this summer
2) People are the most important part of my life. So why not take the opportunity to meet more fantastic folks?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a vast repertoire of Ukrainian folk songs.

But if mild ear trauma isn't up your alley, I'm an optimistic person and I love to share a smile and some laughs. And I'm not half-bad with a mop either.
