ABOUT ME

I'm Alex an Australian currently taking a year out to travel the Americas. I'm a really relaxed person who is looking to spend as much time laughing as I possibly can. I work as a psychologist back home, unfortunately that doesn't mean I can read your mind, although it does mean I'm always up for hearing a story.

I like people who enjoy taking risks. I'm big on trying new things and having a go at anything. Love to socialist over coffee, beer, vodka any time of day. Favourite past time has to be attending gigs and festivals with some of my favourite memories at various festivals around the world. I'm a big sports fan and have just finished 4 weeks in rio for the World Cup. Watching the final on copacabana being a highlight.
