I’m Alex from Singkawang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It's a beautiful coastal city on the island of Borneo. I grew up in Hong Kong. I'm currently travelling around ASEAN. I'm a talkative, outgoing and friendly guy.

I love traveling more than anything in the world because it takes me out of my comfort zone to inspire me to see, taste, try new things and expose me to new type of people. It reminds me that my life isn’t the only one I could live.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

It is a great experience in meeting locals when you visit a country. There is a range of emotions when adapting to a foreign culture, from excitement to interest.
