Hi! I’m Alexandr/ nicknamed Yozhik, or Yosh

I am a performer, theatre maker, and student of Theology in Prague, Czech Republic. I moved here 7 years ago to teach English.

I was born and raised in New York City to a family with a very strange history, and my mixed cultural identity is what probably made traveling a natural part of my life.

My focus is Theology and I'm also a clown/pantomime.

Besides that, I like to play guitar and piano in my free time, as well as teach English through acting.

I have a strong weakness for dark humor, black coffee, stylish clothing, and Asian cuisine.

When I’m not performing, I'm buried in books expanding my knowledge of Theology, trying to be a productive part of my Church community, and seeking out ways to express Theology through the arts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a traveling vagabond who would love to move from place to place performing.

I want to share my art with you, and want to grow my international friend base :)
