Hello! My name is Alejandro Valdes-De Paz and I am a native Floridian who has done a decent amount of travelling. I am 24 years old and I took off to see the world after finishing my BA in Miami, Fl. I am currently based in Toronto but have lived in Ottawa/Gatineau the last two years. I love wine and enjoy meeting pretty cool folk! I am living in Parkdale with my wonderful flatmate Olivia and we can provide a comfy living room for you to crash in!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love meeting the locals! I have Wwoof'd in the past and it was a great way to meet locals and to get the best tips. So many people have recommended Couchsurfing so now I use it when travelling!

音乐、电影和书籍

Very diversified taste in music. Can easily appreciate anything from classical to hip hop to salsa!
Current main artists are Tash Sultana, Wild Ones, Brockhampton, and No Vacation. As you can tell, diverse genres!

As far as movies go, love anything that makes you think! 28 days later is my absolute favourite. Danny Boyle = genius.

Favourite book: 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Magical Realism is hella dope.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Jumped off the Hokitika Gorge bridge in New Zealand. Easily the coolest/dumbest thing I have ever done.

I also went skydiving for my 18th birthday in Miami. It was pretty dope.

教，学，和分享

If you want to practice Spanish or English, we can have chats! I am fluent in both and have a North American accent for English and an ambiguous Latin American accent for Spanish since my dad is Cuban and mum is Salvadoran.
