Hi, I'm Alex I'm 25, and I have the travel bug. Bad. I was just able to go live and work abroad in The Netherlands (specifically The Hague) for 7 months of 2015 where I was able to travel and live a European lifestyle and gained a healthy addiction to espresso. Since being back in California I have such a strong urge to continue to visit every country that I have heard so much about but haven't yet been to. My friend Lauren and I just went on a Scandinavian Fjord seeking adventure in May! But I would also love to visit Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, India, Brazil, Iceland, and maybe go back to Italy a thousand more times! Back in 2012 I did study abroad in La Napoule, France and in Paris for an Art Studio and museums course. I love painting, drawing, and sculpture and continuing to learn about art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated as a cast member for The Pageant of the Masters for about five years which is a living art show. They paint the cast's bodies to match famous paintings, then for a segment of 90 seconds at a time, the piece (usually a famous historical artwork, or vintage poster, or sculpture) is wheeled out on stage where lighting and other magical elements come into play. There are approx 30 pieces for the whole show in Laguna Beach, CA. Everyone who comes to California during the summer has to see this show, it's incredible and there's a new theme every year. And I got to be in it!
