I am Alex, I currently live in Oulu, Finlnad as a student, I came here in 2015 and will be staying here for a very long long time.
I study Business Information Technology at Oulun Ammattikorkeakoulu.

I am a guy who has always been so passionate about travelling, Starting with the 1st time traveling alone at the age of 16, I have become increasingly passionate about travelling, because not only travelling itself makes it splendid, but everything I see and feel whilst travelling actually gives me a better vision of the world, differences, understandings, values and etc.
The world is wild, there is never enough time to explore it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was first time hosted as a surfer in 2014 by a British lady who was teaching in China, and Couchsurfing was introduced by a friend from Sweden, I felt it was something that provides you an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and share experiences with Couchsurfers whom are also so passionate abut travelling.

I think that's one of the most amazing things at the point of view as a traveller. Because it's experience that matters .

Interests

Of course travelling.

During weekends, I usually go for an afternoon cycling, mostly in the forest. And sometimes a long distance run in the morning.

Apart from that I am also very interested in collecting documents, particularly travelling documents, like passports, visas, boarding passes and so on. Because I think these things are to be kept when you get old then you have something that you can proudly look back and reminisce the joy of the past

• traveling
• cycling
• hiking
• swimming

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock Music, bands like OneRepublic and The Beatles.

Aha I do not watch movie often though but if I have to think of one then it would probably goes to action movie.

I like reading travelling books, and also biographies of people that I am interested .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

well, everybody has a definition of amazement, I would say one of the amazing things I have done was that I lived 1 year in Canada alone when I was 16 as an exchange student while I was a high school student.

Teach, Learn, Share

I volunteered 2 months teaching English in Philippines after graduating from high school in 2014, I think that not only I have taught students English but I have also gained experiences and got different values exchanged as well as learnt new things while being a teacher. Because at the end of the day, you reflect on things you have done in the past, there will be something you can be so grateful for.
