Hi, everyone. I go by Alejandro. I am 28 years old and I come from Dominican Republic. I came to the United States 3 years ago to pursuit two of my passions (acting and digital art). I have lived in New Jersey for the past three years, but now I am moving to Los Angeles, California to start a three year program at Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Digital Production in Entertainment.

I am very easy going, honest, communicative, open-minded, and respectful. I like to learn new things while spending time with people. I really love meeting and connecting with people from different cultures.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing presently because I need to find a place to stay in Los Angeles, CA while I look for an apartment to move in. However, I would love to travel the world eventually and help others achieve the same. So, couch surfing seems like the obvious place to start. :) I presently do not have a home to offer, but I am confident that this will change in the near future.

兴趣

I also love engaging conversations about social issues, such as non-monogamy, feminism, social structure, sexuality, among others.

Among some of my other interests I have, but have not had the time (or have made excuses about learning...:p) are: playing an musical instrument (guitar and drums), get into martial arts (Fencing, Kendo and Iaido, and judo or jiujitsu), continuing learning languages (Japanese first, then maybe French or German), amongst others.
