My name is Alex. I am a NYC transplant in Pisa working as an au pair for an incredible Italian family. I love to travel which is why I relocated to Italy, and I am trying to see as much of the world as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Israel I hiked up Masada (an ancient village built on top of a tall, flat mountain that was later taken over by the Romans) very early in the morning so we reached the top before the sun rose. Watching the sun rise over the Negev Desert was the most magical, incredible moment of my life.
