Hello CS Community!

My name is Alex or West (I usually go by West if there is another Alex in the room haha!) I have officially entered my travel era! I am a freelance Photographer, Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer. My biggest goal of 2024 is to get my skydiving license.

Three things I will always say yes to; Underground Techno Show, Hiking up a mountain and Checking out a dope coffee shop.

I've always had a passion for exploring, adventuring and meeting new people. I'm always open to new experiences and cultures. I love to swap stories, talk about deep space, why we are on this earth and how we can get the most out of this life. I have a pretty witty and sarcastic sense if humor. I love a good pun. I am equally a social butterfly as I am a solo introvert. I love art, live music and exploring a new city. On the other hand I equally love the quiet nature, hiking up a mountain, sitting in silence while watching a sunset or taking in a beautiful view.

I am not hosting right now as I am mostly traveling as much as I can. My end goal is the set up shop in San Francisco and also have a summer home in Detroit. I will most certainly start hosting once that happens.

I can't wait to make new connections and learn more about this world with all the people in it! Feel free to ask me anything I am an open book!

Much love yall (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to travel on a budget and meet locals while making lasting friendships and memories. I love spending my time like a local whenever I travel, finding those hole in the wall bars, stumbling across an underground show or getting lost in deep conversations with random people! I'm here to be intentional and broaden my horizons. Hostels are great, but sometimes we can miss out on the true nature of a city.
