Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile!

My name is Alex, and I joined the CS community during the planning stages of a post-graduation backpacking trip around Europe. That trip changed my life, and I've pretty much been traveling ever since. Currently, I'm living in Madrid, Spain, where I teach English to primary school students. It's been three years since I joined the CS community, but I'm still as eager and open as ever to meet new people!

"Be a traveler. Not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in." --Andrew Zimmern

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What could ever be more fun than making new friends and experiencing different cultures while exploring the world? Meeting new people and trying new things is what makes a trip an adventure!
