About Me
Hey, guys, I'm Alex. I'm a barista by day. And then at night I'm still a barista.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It just seems like a cool network of people. Plus, it's just way better to see a city for the first time with somebody who really knows it.

I was in a Lifetime movie when I was 17. Haven't topped it.
