Hello, fellow travelers! I am Alex McNeil a travel enthusiast from Miami, FL, USA of German and Italian heritage. I love exploring new cultures and trying local foods wherever I go. This is my first time using Couchsurfing, and I’m excited to meet new people and share experiences.

When I’m not traveling, you can find me hiking in nature or capturing moments through taking on thrill-seeking attractions and activities.

I’m looking for a cozy spot to stay and would love to swap stories over a cup of coffee. Feel free to reach out—let’s connect!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love the idea of connecting with locals and fellow travelers. It’s a great way to immerse myself in different cultures and gain insights that I wouldn’t find in guidebooks. I appreciate the sense of community and the opportunity to share stories and experiences with people from all walks of life. Plus, it helps me travel more economically, which is always a bonus! I'm excited about the unique experiences that come from staying with someone who knows the area best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I did was hike to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was an incredible journey that took me through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to rocky terrain. The challenge of the altitude made it tough, but the feeling of camaraderie with my fellow hikers kept us motivated. On the final night, as we reached the summit just before sunrise, I stood in awe as the sun began to rise over the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. That moment was breathtaking and made all the hard work worth it. This experience taught me about perseverance and the beauty of stepping out of my comfort zone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m excited about Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of cultural exchange. I’d love to share stories about my travels and the unique traditions of my hometown. I enjoy cooking, so I could prepare a meal for us, introducing you to some local dishes. I have a passion for traveling so I’d be happy to share tips about the many countries that I have been too whether short or long-term.

Most importantly, I’m grateful for your hospitality and would love to create a warm, friendly atmosphere in your home!
