Raised between Sofia and Paris suburb, I am currently spending a year working between Singapore and Jakarta, discovering those wonderful cities as well as the lands around and their wonderful people.
I like good beer, french cheeses, to sail, to dive, to take the train, to take my time, to make lists, to make friends, to dance brazilian forró, to play music, to read Gabriel Garcia Marquez, to eat italian parmigiana and thai mango sticky rice, to spend quality time with my loved ones, to complain, to enjoy, to question, to travel.
I am Alex, nice to meet you lah!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curious, dynamic and sometimes funny, I would like to meet new people that travel in Roma/Sofia/Paris/Sao Paulo/Singapore or anywhere else around the world !
