My name is Alex and I'm from Sweden. I am currently living in Shanghai at Sudan University studying Chinese for one year.
In the summers I work at a summer camp with children and teenagers age 8-16, where I am a sailing instructor.
I am a nice girl, very friendly and helpful. I am very social and I love to laugh.
On my spare time I like to read, meet with friends and also I like to go running in green parks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and get new experiences. When traveling the best thing about it is seeng all the beautiful places the world has to offer and meet all the beautiful people in it. When couch surfing I can meet so many new interesting people, get to know them, hear their story and get to know their view on different things. And therefor I can get different perspectives on life and get a more fulfilled life.
