Hi! I'm Alexa, I work as a craft cocktail bartender (I can make some quality drinks), but my real passion is for the performing arts. I am an actor, dancer, and singer; I'm part of an improv comedy team and I'm learning aerial arts (hoop/lyra is my favorite so far). I grew up on a dairy farm in the Midwest (US) and I've been living in Southern California for the past 7 years. I love all things creative and nerdy, finding new things off the beaten path, and spending quality time with good people.

I will be traveling solo for the first time ever late March to mid April 2019! My destinations include Copenhagen, Paris, Lisbon, and Porto. Let me know if you have a couch I can crash on, want to join me for adventures, or if you have any recommendations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I want to immerse myself in the local culture instead of just getting the typical tourist experience. I am hoping to meet locals, make new friends, and discover the soul of a new place!
