Hey! I am Alexandra, Alex for short. I was born in the good ole USSR, in Belarus, to a Belorussian mother and a Cuban father. I grew up in Belgium, however, and am more Belgian than anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first started couchsurfing while teaching and studying in the USA. Now that I am back home in Belgium and living in a tiiiiny studio, the only way I can still be a part of the community is by meeting up with surfers every once in a while. So... Don't hesitate to contact me if you want a chat and perhaps even a tour of Leuven, Brussels or Antwerp!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to turn a student who absolutely hated my guts for no reason into my number one fan by... being kind and patient, I guess. Kill' em with kindness?

Teach, Learn, Share

Weird is just a side effect of amazing!!!
