Hi! I'm Alex. I'm a very friendly guy! I graduated from Michigan State University two years ago and eventually left Michigan to work as a financial analyst for IBM in Minnesota. During those two years I ingrained myself in music and released two EPs. I've since moved back to focus more on music, and I'm aiming to move to Chicago within the upcoming months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and discovering hidden gems that others may not know about. Travel helps provide inspiration and a means for clarity when I'm writing music.

Interests

I'm an avid songwriter. Going to music festivals helps me get a feel for where the scene is going, and what part I'm going to play in that in the near future. I love coffee and it's one of those things that makes getting up in the morning really worth it. Between that, being able to unwind is also very important to me. Visiting different breweries is very fun. I believe that when it takes you a long time to reach a destination, you cherish that destination much more. But the journey is what's most important.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During one summer I took cold showers for a consecutive two months.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a deep understanding of how people operate on a cognitive basis. I can share experiences and ideas regarding empathy, love, and mutual understanding. I always travel with a guitar, so a song or two is always on hand.
