Hey guys my name is Alex and I'm currently traveling around South America until Christmas. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area in California but moved to São Paulo in January to teach English and learn Portuguese. Agora posso conversar! Adoro Brasil e o povo Brasileiro!

I was fortunate to work the Olympics and live in Rio for the month of August. Since the end of August I have been traveling around Brazil. My goal is to visit Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia before going back home. I also want to improve my Spanish and might live in Colombia in 2017.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from all over the world and see their town from a local's perspective. And to save 💸💸💸 of course haha.
