My name is Alexander, and I, despite my high school French teacher doubting me, somehow ended up studying the Middle East on the Côte d'Azur. I'm least seemingly very confused (it might just be some sort of subconscious facade for me to easier tackle shortcomings), and I absolutely love talking to and meeting new people, especially through playing music together. I can handle the piano, the ukulele, and most percussion with some semblance of skill, and when I'm not annoying the neighbours with loud music I do readings about comparative and international law, and I try to do as many sports as I physically can fit into my schedule.

Yo so location wise this is all wrong but I use Couchsurfing so seldom that I can't really be bothered to update it

Je m'appelle Alexander Elg, et je suis étudiant suédois à Campus Moyen Orient-Méditerranée de Sciences Po Paris. J'aime bien de parler avec et rencontrer des nouvelles personnes, particulièrement si on peut faire un jam-session ou qqch comme ça. Principalement, je joue de la piano et de l'ukulele, mais je peux joue un petit selection d'autres instruments. Je fais du sport quelques fois par semaine, même si je probablement doit faire mes devoirs plutôt.

I just realised that since I haven't studied Arabic for quite a while I've forgotten most of the verbs so this is all you get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because it's fun meeting new people, but it's probably also a better way to discover wherever it is that you're traveling to.

Music, Movies, and Books

According to my Spotify.me, the musical act I've listened to the most is the Beatles, but a selection of my other favourites include: Vampire Weekend, Jonathan Johansson, Veronica Maggio, the Eels, Stromae, Mika, and Scarlet Pleasure.

I liked Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, a more recent good read was High Dive by Jonathan Lee, and although I can't really decide on what I think about Michel Houellebecq, I find most of his books captivating.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to have some sort of language/music exchange. I like learning about other languages and I'm trying my best to fill my playlists with as broad a selection of languages that I can muster.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless rambling about languages, Swedish pop music, and home made falafel.
