I graduated from Purdue University and am looking to explore the world by way of motorcycle (preferably). I'd like to meet interesting people and document my trips along the way. I'm looking to venture out of my hometown and see what other possibilities are out there.

I've recently been learning how to program, which has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of things that can be created. I've been working with an interesting device called a Raspberry Pi (small computer). I've used this device to help me understand electronics, as well as complete projects that I think up (controlling intercom system remotely / garage door). It has given me a reason to learn things from creating a website / creating databases / and creating Android Apps.

I work at a large corporation that has given me the opportunity to interact with people from around the world. These people inspire me to continue meeting others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted one coucher surfer and it was a great experience, so I look forward to meeting other interesting people.

I've also stayed with one other couchsurfer. It showed me how small the world really is. The person I stayed with was a 12 hr drive away from where I live. After getting to know each other and talking about couchsurfing experiences, we found out that we had both hosted the same person before. Crazy.

Interests

Riding motorcycles, cycling, working out, programming, and longboarding. I also enjoy taking pictures and videos whenever I get time to.

I like to put a lot of my videos online. Just search Alex Ziliak on YouTube and you should get a good feel for who I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove my motorcycle to Los Angeles, staying with friends the whole way there and back. Will always be able to say that I've done it and that is what a lot of loose friends bring up when hanging out after a long time. I hope to make another trip that lasts a month or more and create the story of a lifetime.
