Hi!

I'm Alexandra. I am in my first year of veterinary school in London, England and I just moved to the UK from Illinois. I am so excited to be living in Europe!

My passions include cooking (and vegan cooking!) the flow arts, and fire spinning/fire hooping/fire fans. I am also obviously an avid animal lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to do a lot of travelling here while I can and I am very social - I love to meet new people, learn from them, and discuss anything and everything. I hope I can give back once I have a spare room and be able to host couchsurfers myself. I'm excited to start this new adventure!!
