ABOUT ME
My name is Alexander and I travel the world and tell the story through videos. I am interested in not just traveling like a tourist, but meeting locals, making new friends from another part of the world, trying new foods, experiencing new things. I have had only great experiences Couchsurfing and I have made amazing lifelong friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed all around Europe and met some of the most amazing, gracious, generous, and fun people I have ever encountered. I have stayed in touch with many of them and they have become true friends. They taught me about their culture, introduced me to their friends, and showed me how true and hospitable people can be. I have had some of the greatest times of my life while couchsurfing, and now that I am stagnant I don't plan to give up these people!

I have also paid it forward by hosting people in my own city, San Francisco, trying to be as good of a host as others have been to me. Travelers are the best kind of people, we always get along, and I hope to meet many more during my travels.

Interests

Mostly I'm just interested in traveling, and everything that comes with it. I love telling the story through my videos, introducing the world to people that can't travel as much and never would have seen these places. I'm interested in the culture, the traditions, the language, cuisine, music, architecture, history, you name it. I want to learn everything about the places I visit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to chat about life, the world, and to learn from other people and their perspectives from where they live. I believe we can learn a lot about the world through each other.
