Description
Hi! My name is Alex and I am a medical student at Brown University. I grew up in Maryland and have traveled all over the United States. I want to continue traveling all over the world to meet new people and experience new cultures! I love outdoor activities and am passionate about education, public health, and the environment. My favorite things are watching the sunset, drinking tea, good conversations, and playing guitar. I speak English and Spanish.
Can't wait to meet you!
