Hey!
My name is Alexandra, but please call me Alex.

Truthfully, I'm just a big nerd.
I like to watch documentaries and read books.
I have a fat orange cat who I love more than anything.

I am graduated with my degree in Psychology from the University of Florida and currently pursuing my J.D.

In my spare time, I like to craft (painting, embroidery, weaving), go to the theater, and travel. I also work as a part time UI/UX engineer and web developer, mostly on a free-lance and consulting basis.

Oh! And feel free to check out my travel instagram - @girlnomad.co

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to get to know this community and open my home to others who need a place to stay if they happen to find themselves in my neck of the woods.

I like meeting new people and sharing cultures (:

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spent two months backpacking through Israel, learning Hebrew, and exploring. Too many amazing experiences on this trip!

教，学，和分享

Man, I have an approximate knowledge of many things. I like history and culture, psychology, biology, and useless facts.

I can teach you how to cook. I can cook pretty much everything.

Let's get drunk and watch jeopardy.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Hmm...let's see. I love to talk and learn about people (I studied psychology, after all!). I can teach you some words in a few different languages. I can cook for you (ancient family recipes, so you know it's good!).
