CURRENT MISSION

My life goal is to travel the World!!

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Alex. I was born in Madrid, Spain. I am 50% Spanish and 50% American. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am currently a college student in the University of Connecticut. I am studying for a double major in Economics and Spanish. My favorite hobby is to travel. In fact, I have decided that my life goal is to travel the world!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live in the present moment and that each person should create their own code of ethics. A code of ethics is a list of rules that governs one's behavior and mindset. I have created my own code of ethics which I follow each day and it helps keep me on track by staying organized, living in the present, keeping good habits, work towards reaching my goals in life, and much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just starting to be a couchsurfer. I have not couchsurfed before but I am very friendly and I love to meet people so I very much look forward to using this traveling option.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not used couchsurfing before but I have been recently introduced to it through a book I read that's titled: How To Travel the World on $50 a day. I look forward to using couchsurfing as a way to meet people from the local communities as well as have a place to stay for my travels.

Interests

Traveling is my number one favorite interest. I am making my life goal to travel the world! Other than that, I like self-improvement. I am always looking to improve myself and so this leads me to frequently read books about self-improvement. I love playing with children and pets. I know how to juggle. I love to try many different things out of my comfort zone.

Books: Self-improvement books are my favorite types of books. My favorite book is The Power of Now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled for 41 days straight in Europe without staying in one place for more than 5 days straight. I traveled from Madrid to Valencia, Spain to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, Dublin, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Barcelona, and back to Madrid.

Teach, Learn, Share

Become Enlightened. Read about enlightenment and learn to live mindfully present. It is a life-changing experience. It can be found in readings of Buddhism! I recommend it for everyone!

I would like to learn what self-improvement tips others would have for me. I would also like to learn more traveling tips that will help me in my life goal to travel the world!
